CS #477 - Ice cold

[NEF Said]

I'm posting this early, to give people a chance to get a jump on the CS.

This will wrap up the year, so it is your opportunity to get in those last minute, perfect shots, to cap off a fun 2015!

The theme can be interpreted literally (ice/water, cool/cold weather, people dressed warmly, favorite cold beverages), or metaphorically (diamonds, someone's personality/expression). Have fun with this, and show everyone your creativity with this theme.

Normal CS rules apply - max 3 shots per post, post as often as desired, shots taken within the CS time frame (midnight 12/30 to midnight 1/6 your local time), G-rated, size 800 px on long edge (you can link to larger, if needed), play nice in the sand box (or ice rink).

Here are a few (literal) examples...

The view out our porch door on a bitter cold night we had (I think from last year):

Just Tuesday, when we got our first snow, really high winds, and some colder weather (20's F), I shot out our kitchen window (still with some Winter decorations):

Let's see what you got!

Good timing for this theme, Paul, and very nice examples. [I've tried things similar to your first shot many times, but have never gotten exactly what I wanted -- maybe my luck will change this week.]

Super theme and examples Paul. I'll probably have to go with something from the refrigerator to get any type of temperature cold effect. A great close to 2015 and a really neat entry to 2016. So let's all have a lot of fun with it. Thanks for hosting Paul.

It was, fortunately, dumb luck. I was taking the dog out at night, the deck light was on, and I noticed the cool frost on the doors and windows. Grabbed the camera and took a few shots. I haven't seen that since.

Yeah, you'll have to be a little creative, but remember, cold is relative (my brother puts on a sweater when it is 65F in California - I'll still have shorts and a tee shirt on.

Looking forward to you shots Art!

Cold may be relative but in the physical world "ice cold" has an upper temperature limit. I can think of a few other uses of the term, though

Looking forward to what you come up with for 2016. Remember, these first pictures of the year, will set the stage for the whole year! No pressure!

Thanks. I was outside in a long sleeve tee shirt yesterday, running around like a crazy man taking pictures in the yard. I'll be more sensible this year.

I am at a serious disadvantage down here with this theme, heck I was catching snakes at X-mas and using bug spray.

Favorite ice cold beverage or food?

There is always a Frozen bobble head doll.

Haven't seen one of them...

Really though, anything to do with cold. Can be a color, object, expression, etc. Doesn't need to be a literal translation of "ice cold". Maybe I should have dropped the "ice" from the subject.

Use whatever poetic license you desire and have fun with the theme!

But it's 2016 Mr Glue Bear,
Sooooo...Back in Your Box

No ice around here, but I did go out to see if I could find something that looked cold. The best I could do was this deceptive spot along the edge of one of the streams. It looked very inviting in the direct sunlight, but I guarantee I did not dip my toes in the water.
