    Ah, we have snow here (Indianapolis) now too. It certainly is beautiful, if only it didn’t have to be so cold. I know our blogger friend Renny says that there’s no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothes. I must need even more warm clothes!

    Happy 2008 to you!

    Great pictures. I’ve been waiting for you to break in that new camera.

    We haven’t had much snow here in Seattle but we don’t normally get a lot of snow. Quite often we will go through the whole winter without know.

    But we did get a trace of snow on Christmas which is very rare.

    Enjoy the snow and stay warm.

    We’ve had 3 major dumps of snow and have had a total of 2 1/2 ft! My husband cross-country skis and has been out 25 times! Renny tells me it’s more like Norway here than it is there this winter! Last winter we hardly got any.

    Thanks for your visit!

    Beautiful Pictures! I love that you captures the “snowflakes”…..What kind of Camera is your new camera?

    You mentioned “The Tour Of Homes” Button….That was something a fellow blogger started…It was a “picture” tour of your home, and if you joined in…..You had that button on your side bar…..It was fun to participate in, you know? Everyone who was a part of it, posted pictures of their home on a specific day…..(You only posted what you were comfortable with, of course….) It was a really nice thing to do and you got to see lots of other bloggers homes, from all over the world. It was at least a year ago, I think.

    My first comment seams to have gone walkabout. Anyway, thank you sweetie. love the pics and appreciate them as we don’t have snow in the south of the UK - not for a very long time anyway.

    Klem fra Caroline

    What a lovely coincidence: new cam and finally snow! and you seams to be able to combine it a wonderful way on your first winter season in Norway!

    Btw: Good to see link love works, so now you have a lot of my blog friends from America visiting. I think they love to see Norway through your eyes (and lens) too :-)
    I just posted about New Years Eve and Fireworks, but since I was in Sweden, I linked yours so that my readers can see how its celebrated in Norway too!
