THIS WEEK'S CHALLENGE

I lived in Reno, Nevada, for over 20 years. Every year the winters would

be so cold, icy and snowy. They were just miserable. I don't miss them

a bit. But, even here in balmy coastal South Carolina we get a cold

snap for a few days during January. We are finally seeing the end of

that and warm sunny days are on the way.

One of the pretty things that I remember about the icy cold was seeing

what the Washoe Indians called pogonip. That is a heavy frost that

would accumulate on the branches of tress. Beautiful.

Our theme this week will be 'Pogonip'. However, you want to interpret

that is up to you. I always love seeing your creative artworks.

The image that I used is the beautiful 'White Lady' from Art Freebies.

Feel free to use this image or one of your own.

In my sample the background picture is a pogonip scene around

Virgina City, NV, and the pogonip bush in the foreground is a picture

taken somewhere in the desert of Nevada. Both of these images can

be found at Wunderground.com Weather Photos.

Brrrrrr!

I hope you enjoy this week's 'Pogonip' challenge. Don't forget...

all of you that send in an entry will be automatically entered in our

end of the month drawing sponsored this month by Dezinaworld.
