haha I agree! Springtime is the best! Everything is greener than green, the flowering trees and shubs are in bloom...ahhhhh. Every Spring I literally think to myself: "Thank god I've made it through another winter!"

This is beautiful! Gives a really nostalgic feeling...

Could you possibly tell me where the texture is from? I would love to have it.

Toadsmoothy2 In reply to MissStark [2007-10-22 21:07:12 +0000 UTC]

I'm not sure where it came from. It doesn't have a Deviant name on it so I assume I got it from somewhere else. If you would like you could Note me you email address and I'll send it to you.

Beautiful and eerie. I love the old look to it and how the frame really suits the film-like texture.

hahah Thats true! It wouldn't be as bad if it was so damned cold! ...of course, then there are all the sunless days when the whole world is just grey. That gets me really depressed.

contrarymary [2007-10-20 22:25:41 +0000 UTC]

Love that. In our case, it will be the mildly annoying grey moistness of so called winter that will mumble toothlessly at the hems of our coats...and then when we get into work, they will have turned the heating up, so we have to spend all winter with the windows and fire escape doors open. I kid you not.

Toadsmoothy2 In reply to contrarymary [2007-10-21 17:14:14 +0000 UTC]

Oh god, it gets bitter cold here, so that it hurts to breathe...like living in a freezer. Then the cold wind from Canada sweeps down across Lake Michigan and dumps tons of snow on us. It really sucks. I wish I had the money to relocate to New Mexico or southern California during the winters. But, that'll never happen.

contrarymary In reply to Toadsmoothy2 [2007-10-21 17:21:45 +0000 UTC]

Have to say, I would hate the hurting to breathe bit. Have you ever considered hibernation? I reckon I could be rather good at that.

Toadsmoothy2 In reply to contrarymary [2007-10-21 17:26:14 +0000 UTC]

hahaha Yeah! Like a bear!! I could just go north a bit here in Michigan and hibernate with the black bears!!

contrarymary In reply to Toadsmoothy2 [2007-10-21 17:29:45 +0000 UTC]

Nah, stay where you are and hibernate! That way you're closer to your own kitchen etc etc.
I suspect that humans could probably manage it - you only have to look at any teenage boy spending half his life fast asleep!

I could manage hibernating in the wild...as long as I had DSL!!

I could manage hibernating in wild...so long as I had nice cosy bed, bathroom, kitchen with well stocked fridge and freezer...and lots of books...oh of course would need cigarettes, wine, company...

So most people who know me would ask how could we tell you were hibernating, except possibly there would be less bad language!

Of course it is, and you would be welcome! Actually, the troglodyte village I visited in France this summer had caves with pretty well all mod cons, including a room for community get togethers, and a bar! Hibernating in France sounds like a plan to me!
