Time for Sarcastic Mom’s Weekly Winners again. Where’d the week go? This we we had Valentine’s Day and very cold weather so the photos reflect those things (I barely went out of the house). Plus a portrait of one of the dogs.

Sunday Photos

Thanks to Lotus for this weekly photosafari!

We’ve had snow snow snow over the last week so that is what I am compelled to take photos of.

These are all linked to my flickr site if you want to see them larger. {which would be very nice of you. though I’m not suggesting that you need to. at all. it’s just that in reducing them, sometimes they don’t look as sharp.
I’ll stop talking now. }

Having this Sunday photo meme makes me want to take photos each week. So, I mean it when I say, “Thanks!” This is fun. (Though I won’t get to look at everyone’s until later today. I have some place I’m supposed to be soon!) Happy Sunday, Weekly Winners!

Impressive Sights

I didn’t have a plan for what I was going to write tonight so to play for time I went over to Under the Stars to see what my friend, Sherry blogged today. I didn’t even read it. She had a meme going on, so I decided to take it from her and see what I came up with.

The Five Most Impressive Sights of My Life

1) The Grand Tetons driving into Jackson Hole, Wyoming from the east. They took my breath away.

2) A thunderstorm forming in the distance while driving through New Mexico.

3) A pod of whales off the coast of Cape Breton, Nova Scotia.

taken by my friend Ed Warner; I was too busy being impressed to get any decent shots of them! The best part was the sound. The captain of the boat cut the engine and we would hear SPLOOSH! as they came up out of the water followed by a WOOSH! as the air came from their blow holes. Everything was perfectly silent except for these soft, remarkable sounds.

4) View of the water and the rain forests in Tobago (see above)

5) Sparkling snow shadows in my yard when there’s fresh snow fall and a full moon!

Bonus Answers:

Any woman giving birth
Driving past London landmarks like Buckingham Palace, Big Ben and Westminster Abby while coming home from the theater in a cab
Niagara Falls (an AMAZING amount of water goes over those falls!)
Fall leaves in New England in any *good* year

Thanks for the mental trip down Impressive Memory Lane, Sherry.
NOW I’ll go read your answers.
