| Scavenger Hunt #196 Dec 22 - Jan 4 Thank you darcilicious for choosing the black and white shot. It was my fave of the two I had.
The topic of the next hunt is 'Winter Event'. It can be a formal event or just something that only happens in winter. Be sure to include with each entry how it relates to the topic.
* Photos must be taken during the hunt time frame. No archived photos allowed.
* You may post as many entries as you wish
* No larger than 1024 pixels on the longest side.
* The winner will host the next hunt.
* This hunt runs through Jan 4, 2013
Have fun, this is pretty wide open, so just about any snapshot you take in the next week or so will qualify.
Best wishes to all for a joyous and peaceful time of year.
O.

kudos:22 | Good idea. This leaves it wide open for all kinds of things that are Winter Events. Fortunately, 12,21,12 didn't turn out to be the event some thought that it would!  |

lovely topic... I'll go... Every year as a family we take a trip out the the Gaylord Texan Hotel and visit their ICE show... The hotel is huge and they have a winter theme with things to do here and there... it's such a wonderful place for a 'staycation' and when they decorate it, it's even better... »www.gaylordhotels.com/gaylord-te···dex.html

That's because I bitched to tmpchaos  about it not being a sticky.

OK, I didnt realize we had to do that. If folks want a little more time, that's fine with me. Any objections?

I recently hosted, so this is just for inspiration for people with no "winter". I defer potential hosting to others who haven't hosted recently.

I really liked Hooper's tree shot. Nice depth, simple colors, gets the atmosphere across. Hooper gets the torch!
EGeezer, you inspired me to go get some REAL winter sunset pics .
Darcilicious, nice shot of Santa's helper .
The Gaylord ones are great too. A friend of mine took his daughter there and send a load of pics. That's a hot deal.
Thanks to all,

kudos:3 | I wanted to participate, but there is nary a hint of winter around here. Even some patches of green grass.
Very unusual, and even a little worrisome. |

Here's a couple non-entries taken in Vernon, CT. This is what's left of the last snow we had and the winter parking lot stakes .

Somebody up there must be chopping firewood or reading seed catalogs!
