I don't think we're not in Florida anymore. My 1000th post - Yeah!

About a week ago I posted a picture in the "Nature" category taken on the warm Fort Lauderdale beach. Well, right after that post we went to very chilly Cleveland, Ohio to visit relatives. It was the first time any of my children saw snow. The boys loved it, my daughter hated the cold and stayed warm under the covers whenever possible.

Here's a few pictures. I hope it brings you all much holiday cheer.

I love crunching through the snow. I just avoid the yellow and brown snow.

Cute photos, Joel...I love the 2nd one! The eyes just jump right out at you and you can see the big smile in them.

Congrats on your 1K post....and on Christmas too!

This is great photojournalism! I love the expressions!

Dial down the fill flash to let the natural light show itself.

Yeah, I warned my kids about that.

Thanks Maureen. I wish you and your loved ones a happy, healthy holiday and New Year.

Joel,
Looks like the kids are making the best of the cold. Nothing like getting together with the family. Happy holiday and congrats on 1,000 posts

Great shots.
Glad your kids got a chance to see some snow!
Of course you may have made a permanent Floridian out of your daughter.
I’ll be thinking about you guys next week when you’re back in Florida and winter is just starting to settle in here.
Thanks for sharing the shots.

yellow snow.....apply juice flavored snow cone? jk congrats on your 1000! looks like a snow ninja on the second one.

Nice shots Joel and congrats. Love the last one.

Very crisp shots. Looks like you have a really fun family. Happy Holidays.

Hehe. Maybe you need to bring them up here to the midwest more often!

Great images!
All 1,000 of your posts have been valuable contributions to this forum. Keep up the good work!

Thanks Bruce, Waldograce, Berrylish, Bob, Sam & Curtis for your encouraging words. I feel very fortunate for many things this year and my wonderful "fun" family is at the top of the list.

You all have inspired me with your many fine image posts and constructive criticisms. Thanks and happy, healthy holiday's.

Small world! I live in Ft.Lauderdale (coconut creek) and a ton of my family are up in the Cleveland area. I guess most northerners end up down south eventually. =)
