  19. These are magnificent, Mar. I am falling in love with snow photos this winter. I think I will treat myself to some Ansel Adams from the library. You have inspired me to look more!

  20. Hi Mar!!

    Beautiful photos....from here! Where it's warm and balmy. LOL

    Mine is REALLY wordless today.

  30. Beautiful photos! What an incredible holiday you must have had. I haven't been on the slopes in years however my son is an avid snow boarder. I have to show him your photos.
    Well, I found your blog via the auditions at An Island Life. Personally, I thought your tap dancing was great!! Keep it up and I'm sure we'll be seeing you dance your heart out on Broadway!!

  31. It's beautiful - when I only have to look at it ;-)

    Mountains will always be attractive to me, exactly like the Sea always will. They're so impressive.

    Hey, about the webcams, don't miss to click at the flap that says "Skidkameror" which will take you to a map of Sweden with all the ski resorts marked out and linked for you to visit :-)

    Not as impressive as the Alps, but interesting in another way maybe.
