Hey where are the warm climate Christmas pics? Bob you did terrific showing the poinsettia tree last week. Hellion, did you take any of your Christmas tour last week? Bob, I expected something more risque from your post. I was expecting a hooker in the second window...coming from Amsterdam! ;-)

LOL Bob. At the risk of getting chastised for not posting a pic of a bird, we had an ice storm overnight and power was out across part of the province. In our area, there are still 20,000 people without hydro. Ours was off since 7:30 this morning, and just got restored at 5:30. It may take up to 48 hours before everyone has heat and electricity.

Some sort of light pole with snakes in the Leme area of Rio de Janeiro. It is right near this square with the trolley viaduct and the pyramid-shaped cathedral in the background.

Two Cardinals and a Goldfinch. An old pic. We don't have any snow...yet.
