it's winter time in places where there is winter :-), yep northern hemisphere.
i LUV winter. oh, i lived for two years in "snow-country," a place where tons of snow lasts for almost half a year. yeah, it was really depressing for many, specially that we were all away from home. but I didn't make a fuss much about the weather then. perhaps because there were just lots of things to do. i mean, if schoolwork and deadlines come to you like avalanche themselves, you don't really have time to think about the weather...
with my very limited photo-manipulating abilities, i tried my best to make these old photos look better, but it seems this is how good it can get. (these were re-shoot pictures from a hard-copy photo album, since i have no photo scanner)...
yep, nothing striking about this photo to earn the first place in these very RANDOM bunch of pix, but yeah, it's special in a way. the caption says: first snowfall, tehee.....
(excuse me, i'm a tropical chick - meaning - first snow is like eating an ice-cream :-))
3 girls from the tropics went nutz!
went out in the middle of the night to play like craaazzzy!
we're readying for snowball throwing
bland fresh ice-cream everywhere...
(but my hair really gets thick, shiny and straight during winter.)
inside an iglOo.....

my very first try of winter sports.
(i was too scared for skiing then when we went up north so i settled for the gentler one - ice-skating. t'was really lotsa fun.)
up north Nagano, that lake was frozen.
we could walk on icy-glassy water.
i was being taught how to ski.
i did learn... oh, i wonder when i can do this again...
yes this route is quite the easy one
(but i also managed to do the more advanced/steeper routes as i got the hang of it. just have no photo to show :-)
... just thought this was cute with the Autumn leaves framing the photo.

... and how i greatly miss those mountains...
2 years with those amazing views, ahh.....
(was like being in a monastery in the Himalayas, as we were confined studying political 'sutras' within our four-walled white little cells)

apart from skiing, other things i love about winter are going to open air
hot springs, nabeh pot parties and drinking...
by the way, in japan, there are sprinklers everywhere (mostly), you don't have to break your back shoveling snow. but still, blizzards are blizzards, and are dangerous when traveling by car.
