Yee Haw I’m first!
And tomorrow is Friday!
It is absolutely beautiful and the first one looks like a toy building in a Christmas display!

How beautiful. Snow is so pretty in someone else’s backyard! 🙂

Tom,
I think you could use these as postcards for the park. They are very nice and I really like them. Did you get any with the snow and the building before the lake froze? I think it would be neat to see the shade comparison…
Very nice!

What a lovely place. You are so lucky to work there. Please keep the views coming.
6 December 2007 at 8:19 pm
I’ve always hated winter, but I’m hating it less and less. I’m even learning to enjoy it. It certainly has a beauty all its own, and you’ve captured it well.
6 December 2007 at 9:05 pm
Agreeing with Robin. Winter has a beauty of its own and you know how to find it.
Stunning photos. What a view.
6 December 2007 at 9:12 pm
Very lovely!
Snowscapes seem so peaceful. Looks as if you have received many inches! Will you go hiking? I enjoy getting all bundled up and getting out into the woods when the snow is freshly fallen. I like how silent it is.

Never been there in winter. Looks lovely.

@ Marg – yeah and yeah! That’s the office I work out of! Thanks!
@ Liz – thanks and sometimes I wish the same thing!
@ John – I had hoped to get a good shot before it froze over but wouldn’t stop snowing! This is one from last year! http://flickr.com/photos/monarch/290096878/
@ Trixie – thanks and will work on getting a few more for ya!
@ Robin – It has its moments! Ski season is about to start so that makes it easier!
@ Mary – When you are in beauty all the time, doesn’t matter where you point the camera! Thanks though!
@ Sherry – Thanks and I think of it as being cold! Ugg! We probably have gotten over a foot of snow and hard to get out when it gets dark so quickly!
@ Nick – not many herps out this time of the year! LOL Thanks though!

Wow these pictures scream WINTER. What a lovely wonderland.
6 December 2007 at 9:42 pm
Beautiful pix of the snow. I especially like the Administration Bldg shot. It looks as if it belongs on a holiday card — and I mean that in the best possible way.
6 December 2007 at 10:01 pm
Nice scenery-I look forward to a White Christmas so I can walk around in the snow out in the woods.
6 December 2007 at 10:19 pm
Ooh, pretty!
6 December 2007 at 11:13 pm
@ Lisa – doesn’t get any more winter than this! Feels like it has been snowing for the past 3 days non stop! Did get a few blue skies today though!
@ Marvin – Thanks and I like the snowflakes in the air with this! Didn’t notice them when taking the picture!
@ Larry – LOL, after Christmas . . I think I am ready for spring!
@ Adam – thanks!

I was hoping to get some photos of the hooded mergansers before the lake froze.
7 December 2007 at 12:14 am
This kinda reminds me of the movie the Shinning! It’s beautiful, but a little spooky to. I guess the whole snowed in thing. ~Nita~
7 December 2007 at 12:42 am
These are so pretty, Tom! The Admin Building and Red Lake are so “photogenic” year round!
7 December 2007 at 8:08 am
BEE-YOO-TEE-FULL winter pictures, Mon@rch!
7 December 2007 at 8:13 am
I can almost hear the peaceful quietness of it all.
7 December 2007 at 9:38 am
Nice pics – like postcards!
7 December 2007 at 9:48 am
Beautiful pics. You definitely capture the exquisite silence and chill.
7 December 2007 at 11:22 am
Gorgeous shot Tom! I agree, it should be used as a Christmas card or postcard!
7 December 2007 at 12:04 pm
OMG!!! That is beautiful! ! ! ! ! ! Words can’t explain how gorgeous that is!
7 December 2007 at 12:10 pm
@ Grace – I even went out with the camera to capture their picture but they ended up moving on me!
@ Nita – doesn’t remind you of the north pole? LOL, I just want to see blue skies!
@ Pam and it can be sometimes! Spring isn’t that photogenic though, it’s a little muddy!
@ Ruthie – awww, thanks Ruthie!
@ misti – you don’t hear the snowmobiles? Once they get started it sounds like a swarm of bees!
@ Patrick – thanks
@ Robin – thanks and it has been snowing non stop even still today it’s snowing! it’s what we call Lake Effect!
@ sherri – thanks and will have to come up with something! Thanks
@ YN – J – thanks and I have one word you can appreciate “Snowboarding”!
7 December 2007 at 12:22 pm
That’s just beautiful. They look like pretty picture postcards.
7 December 2007 at 12:57 pm
Oh Tom, this is so very beautiful. I love it!
7 December 2007 at 3:20 pm
Admin building? What a waste! It should be a home for retired nature lovers.
7 December 2007 at 6:46 pm
@ Erie – thanks and wasn’t the best lighting but thanks!
@ Lisa – thanks
@ Wren – LOL< have to have offices somewhere! But when my mother first graduated from highschool she lived in their! No one lives their now though! Well except the ghost!
7 December 2007 at 7:37 pm
What awesome pictures! Make Christmas cards from them 🙂 There is such peace that comes with a winter flurry!
7 December 2007 at 10:01 pm
I’m feeling (just a little) jealousy.
Do you x-country?
8 December 2007 at 8:35 am
@ Chicago – thanks and one of these might become a header to the http://www.nysparks.com website! They asked my permission yesterday!
@ Nina – I do but ski season doesn’t start until the 19th when hunting season is over! I snowboard also!
8 December 2007 at 9:33 am
That would make an awesome header for them Tom-congrats!
8 December 2007 at 3:34 pm
I echo the comments – these would make a wonderful card/postcard/header for your Park System.
LOVELY shots!
9 December 2007 at 7:20 am
Ah Tom see I’m catching your posts. I’ll never forget the first time Don and I spent a weekend in a cabin at Red House. It was January and were really into x-country skiing. We had so much fun. these photos bring back memories. Thanks
