Things have been magically cold over here!
Lustrous black locks are frosted in ice after a 15-minute-walk in -25°C.
The radiant smile is warming though.
Winter jackets are sprinkled with sugary snow as little boys plunge their way through hip-deep snow.
And there, amidst the swirling cream of a snowstorm, a girl’s purple gloves
Make the most of the moment.

My friend from London said it’s colder in LA than in London. I can’t believe that as we don’t have snow. Lovely photos to remind me of the cold snow.

Such incredible shots and they do touch me because my children — although grown now have a black father and we do celebrate their mixed heritage. It’s been a great life for all of us! Hope your New Year is off to a great start!

I think that is more cold than I care to deal with. Here, if the temps dip to freezing, we feel that is too cold and rush to cover the tender plants. We can have tender plants for freezing is a rare problem.
