5 on the Fifth - Finale.

Stephen Chapman over at “The State Of The Nation UK”, has had a monthly feature called “Five on the Fifth” in which bloggers would participate by posting five photos on their blog and exchanging links with his. The five pictures, taken in the days leading up to the fifth of the month, could be random or follow his suggested theme, which this final time happens to be Winter Weekend.

Since it has been anything but 'wintery' here (day time temperatures in the 60s F, and overnight lows in the 40s) I've chosen to stay with the theme, but insert images from years ago. I have been scanning my old slide collection to digital format and some of these happen to fit the theme quite well. 

So, here goes.
Ice storm aftermath.

Icy Berries.  The wildlife was not pleased.

Ice Boating on the Lake

One very cold Ice Boat Competition Judge.

Delaware Water Gap between New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
While this is the last 5 on the 5th challenge, I hope to participate in whatever Stephen has in mind for us next month. Let us make it a happy and creative new year. Thanks Stephen.

Now go on over to his place and see what others have created for this event. HERE.

And so it goes,

  1. Such lovely pictures! Agreed, it has not been wintery - my photos look very autumnal - wish I was clever enough to grab some shots from the files!

  2. Now, that was a bunch of true winter images. I'm no big fan of ice and cold but after looking at your beautiful shots I *almost* find myself longing for winter. Weird isn't it?

    Thanks for sharing!

    Love
    Daniel
