Even in the cold
A pair of outhouses in one of the nearby state parks....PJ Hoffmaster SP, near Muskegon. This one from last Friday after we had a nice snowfall overnight. And yes....they are open in the winter, although just a wee bit chilly!

Sometimes I envy a guys' abilities! LOL! You must have quite a few more inches of snow by now.. I really like the simplicity of your shot.. :cool:

I like the comp. myself, Toni. The way you framed it up is quite nice. Thanks for sharing the snow, again. We actually received a few inches last week, and it was gone within 36 hours. :frown:

Thanks for sharing

Thanks Susie and Robert.

After somewhat of a meltdown in snow a few days ago, we got another 8.5 inches of snow yesterday. Looks like it's going to stay around for a while, at least through the weekend.

Robert.... if you have any plans to go North, now is the time! The trees in the park looked fantastic today with all the trees and scrub having a nice new coat of snow. :biggrin:

Toni - stop talking about how great the snow looks!! All we can get is rain down here!

Nice image - I never thought outhouses could look that good....

Nice framing Toni...I'm reminded of an outhouse that we had near a campsite a couple of winters ago - The entire "seat" was encased in a half inch thick coating of ice, due to the offgassing of the waste. Thankfully, I never became desperate enough to have to use it! I hope you lucked out as well. :biggrin:

Sorry CJ..I don't mean to rub it in. :wink:

Sometimes I wish we didn't have this much snow this year, as it can be a real pain in the neck! For the first time since I've lived in this apartment complex (about 6 years now), they had to bring in heavy duty equipment to move some snow. The plowed snow was piling up so bad at both ends of each parking lot that some of us had real problems getting into our garages. :eek: :frown:

Joel...it hasn't been quite that cold! :jump:
