Pretty Pics: Golden Gait Mercantile

All of the above pics were taken at Golden Gait Mercantile in the exceedingly lovely Victorian village of Ferndale, CA. Ferndale was a stop on the second leg of our big Seattle to Austin road trip of August, 2008.

Yes, the trip was a while ago, but I'm still going through all the photos, editing them & archiving them in my Flickr Travels collection. Better late than never, right?

Pretty Pics: Ice Sculptures After a Storm

I'm soooooo not a winter person; I'm already longing for the warm days & bursting flowers of spring! and apparently, an "arctic blast" is supposed to hit Austin Thursday morning. So I decided to find some photos that might help me appreciate the beauty of winter (Flickr to the rescue).








Thanks, Vilseskogen, for sharing these beautiful photos from New Jersey - they really are lovely.

What's your favorite thing about winter? Maybe y'all can persuade me that it's a nice season after all. ; )
