Hi Bob. Good to see you are safe and sound. And able to get out. They say you can not keep a good man down. I do like the rose picture covered in ice. It looks like its been frozen in time. . well done TFs.

Hi Bob,

Glad to know you are well enough to get out on your scooter. Don't know how you can do that - I would be hibernating. And I wouldn't get to see something as spectacular as this frozen wild rose. I have never seen such thick ice except in ice sculptures. This is truly amazing. Hope Jane is feeling better!

Hello Bob,
Yes, the wild rose is probably one of the heartiest flowering plants we have in the Northwest. It is a shame to see all the ice suffocating everything in your area. Just be positive as this Rose is, and the sun will shine again ONE day and then winter will return with all its fury once again as it stalks the souls of those that choose to live on the Spirit's Wintering Grounds.
Excellent detail within the ice formation surrounding this Rose,
Great Work...

Hi Bob.

Been a while since I visited your gallery. I can see some fine new additions to your already excellent collection of images. Your scooter must have helped in getting this winter view with fine sharp details. I like the framing and rather graphical in presentation. Well done and TFS,

Burrrrrr...looks cold up in your neck of the woods Bob,
I can't believe you guys are still in a deep freeze!
Great shot with excellent clarity and exposure. Love the diagonal composition.
I sure hope you folks get a break pretty soon!! Try and stay warm in the mean time. TFS.

Hello Bob,
Very nice to see a post from you again! This is a lovely capture showing very clearly how the icy cold has hit you in Cheney! Excellent sharp details of the icy rose buds and beautiful colours too! A fine composition!
TFS and regards, Ulla

Nice to see you back in action again Bob!
A great macro showing the effects of sun and freezing temps. on the snow that covered this rose-hip, or what's left of it. The lighting, composition and technical aspects are great, though it might have been even better without the slightly OOF ice-free rose-hip in front of it. I am mystified how that one has no ice on it at all: did you clean it up?

Hello Bob

Great detail in the ice on this rose.
The encased deadhead takes on a different kind of beauty than that of it's former self.
Lovely light and detail.

Very cool shot!
Excellent composition.
Superb clarity.
In some parts of the UK the sea has frozen! :-)

Great stuff and I'm glad to see you're better.

Hi Bob

It is good to hear that you are safe. I was sorry to hear that you were not well.

This is just beautiful, it looks like the plant is encased in glass. You caught the crystaline texture of the ice well

TFS
