New Year's Eve 2013

Will you stay up tonight and wait for the New Year?  We are in a deep freeze here (-12C).  It warmed up a bit on the weekend and I went for a walk with my friend S, but we were slipping and sliding along, quite scary in fact.  I did take a few photos below:

This is a shot of the trees after the recent ice storm. As I mentioned, it was thawing a bit that day and the ice was starting to fall off the tress. It was still quite pretty.


This is what it looked like on the ground beneath the trees as the frozen ice fell off the branches.

That is such an interesting photo of the leaves on the cracked ice.

Yes, we'll probably be up tomorrow night because of all the fireworks. Have a very happy and healthy new year, Christine.

There has been some snow on the volcano peaks on Hawaii island, but none here on Oahu, where I live. I like your artistic photos, but would not want to live there. Give me warm weather anytime. Lol.

The ice gives me the shivers. Ice Storm '98!
Happy you're out and about. I have to gather kindling this afternoon. It's -15C.
Cheers from Cottage Country Ontario , ON, Canada!

We are experiencing similar weather. And we are having a white New Year's eve; it's snowing! We will stay up to bring in 2014, but I'm not sure if we'll be going anywhere. Happy New Year!

I have never experienced weather that cold! n It is 31C here and very humid. I didn't stay up for New Year (Its New Years day here) but got woken by fireworks from up the street! My New Years Party was on Monday night. (only time all my friends could attend. Any way I wish you a wonderful New Year.

So cold but so beautiful! What lovely photographs. I'll probably be up when the year changes, but I don't think I'll be counting down... Happy new year wishes to you Christine!
