Photo Assignment: Come in from the cold

Brrr. The chill of winter is in the air -- can you feel it? And yet, winter can be one of the most beautiful seasons. You are invited to share your best winter photo (can be a new one or an old one) in keeping with the theme: "Come in from the cold."

This is a collaborative effort, rather than a contest. DisciplesWorld's editors wiil pick one representative photo to feature in the January/February issue to encourage readers to come and enjoy the whole collection.

TO ADD A PHOTO [important] don't use the "Upload File" link. Instead, click the little camera icon in the toolbar under "Reply to This". That will allow you to embed your photo directly in your post. If you use the Upload link, people won't be able to see it in your post, they'll just see that you've added an attachment. You may include a caption or other explanatory text about what the photo is, and how it relates to the theme.

We're using the Forum section for this because of some of the features here. If you need help with uploading a photo here, just email Rebecca: news@disciplesworld.com.

This Photo Assignment begins on Friday, November 20 and runs through Sunday, November 29, because we will need to choose a photo to run in DisciplesWorld on November 30. After that, you can still upload a photo, of course.

It was a beautiful new fallen snow and I wiggled my way up inside a tree to get the view from inside the tree looking out. I was definitely ready to 'come in from the cold after getting so wet in the tree!; ▶ Reply to This

This evergreen is part of an evergreen tree line at a cemetary adjacent to our neighborhood. The entire tree line looked like this. The tree line is very exposed. I am guessing that the wind blew away the snow on the branches and what remained was the snow in the clumps of bristles. Regardless of how it how happened, it was a natural event that added whimsy and awe to the experience of the season.; ▶ Reply to This

To those of us in Indiana, this was completely new. If the newly fallen snow has just the right consistency and the wind blows at just the right speed, the snow will be rolled into - well - snow rollers. This event occurred throughout the Wabash Valley. Wherever there was a wide-open flat area (including roofs), there were snow rollers. The local newspaper could not find anyone with a memory or record of such an event happening in this area. It made for an amazing and delightful day.; ▶ Reply to This
