Poor Maxie - it looks like his ground-hovering belly is cold as well!
ReplyDeleteOh Maxie is TOO cute :)
ReplyDeleteI can't say that I miss snow much, but it sure is pretty.
ReplyDeleteI've wondered how Maxie is. We haven't seen him in a long time!
ReplyDeleteLove the shots of the woods - gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful! The woods look enchanted.
ReplyDeleteJust magical.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful place! Maxie is a good looking dog -- a long-haired dachshund?
ReplyDeleteYou make me almost wish for snow... nah! ;)_
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a wonderful walk Merisi! Great photos!
ReplyDeleteSnow pics are so lovely. But I'm not quite willing to live in the snow belt to get them.
ReplyDeleteYour pictures bring back so many happy memories of a week we spent in Vienna a few years ago. I really loved it. SO much beautiful architecture, cute shops, history. I was in heaven.
ReplyDeleteThank you all so much! :-)
ReplyDeleteI will not publish a post today until later in the evening. Somehow I have set myself up for an interview at 5pm which I at first thought was a great time because my brain is at its most brilliant any time after 4pm, only to find out that it sort of eats away every hour that comes before that today because I am a nervous wreck! And I don't even know if I really want what I should get if the interview goes well!!!! Does this child ever learn? ;-)
Anyway, a wonderful day to you all,
until we see each other again,
Merisi
Oh what beautiful atmospheric pictures!
ReplyDeleteAll so very pretty. Reminds me of England just now Merisi.
ReplyDeleteThis looks very much like our Norwegian landscape right now :-) beautiful!

Hi Maxie!!

ReplyDeleteIs Maxie a long-haired dachshund? I had one growing up named Teena with same color of coat. (And your lasagna dinner sounded wonderful ;P)
