WW: Wagamons Pond After Winter Snow Storm

Frozen Pond Picture

"Beauty, like ice, our footing does betray; Who can tread sure on the smooth, slippery way: Pleased with the surface, we glide swiftly on, And see the dangers that we cannot shun."
- John Dryden

The temperature in southern Delaware usually doesn't stay below freezing long enough for big puddles to freeze, let alone large bodies of water. Although I'm not fond of frigid weather, the effects can be stunning, such as snow sitting upon Wagamons Pond in Milton during a winter sunset.

    Sadly, it's a familiar site for me. It;s been super cold in MA this year.

    It's definitely a stunning sight but yeah, I'm with you when it comes to cold (ie. below-freezing) temperatures.

    Love the quote! And your photo is wonderful. Great back-lighting with hints of pink. I actually want to be there and I don't like the cold.

    I'm a day behind. We got some of that white stuff on Tuesday. DH stayed home yesterday because of the icy, snow covered roads in our neighborhood. I wish I could have gotten outdoors early yesterday morning to photograph the snow, but it was all of 1°. I didn't feel brave enough to venture outside, but instead stayed in bed till 10am. lol This morning is wickedly cold, too. I just love your WW photo, though. This must have been awesome to see up close and personal through the lens. I would like an opportunity like this...someday! Happy WW! ;)

Jewelry Giveaway: Silver Wreath Ring by Kate Szabone

EDIT: Giveaway is officially over. Congratulations to Linda Meyers-Gabbard for submitting the randomly chosen 702nd entry. Have you dragged your holiday decorations out of the attic and dusted off the Christmas wreath yet? One reader will win the above sterling silver band by Kate Szabone Jewellery and get to hang a wreath ring around her finger during any season. The design is reminiscent of a budding rose branch.
