Once upon a December :)

Hello everyone!

News

Fantastic news!! We actually have snow here! Don't get me wrong, it is not something so unusual for mid-December, but I am extremely excited about having snow at Christmas, I really missed that for the last couple of years.
"I'm dreaming of a white Christmas..."
By the way, this year I really am struck with Christmas anticipation like never before... who knows what it might bring ^^

  Many thanks to all of you who have voted in my last poll I am seriously considering the contest idea now, and when I arrive at a final conception, I will let you know for sure! Probably I'll launch the contest in the beginning of 2010, hope you will be eager to participate

I'd like to remind that I am continuing my series of features of people and deviations that have inspired or moved me, or just caught my eye somehow. Currently, I'm donating prizes to the following contests:

Autumn Interpretation Contest @ naturephotographer.deviantart.… , winners announced, feature below
Mountain/Hill & Flowers/Plants/Trees Contest @ mountainshots.deviantart.com/j… , deadline 30.11., voting in progress
Autumn/ Fall Contest @ nature-nuts.deviantart.com/jou… , deadline 22.12.

Features

As we are approaching the end of 2009, this is the best time to think about our experiences throughout the year and draw the line. What better way than a collection of outstanding Seasons photographs? Enjoy

Thanks & Devious Remarks

Thank you all once again for the consistent support! It means a lot to me, like it does to every artist I'm glad that my art is appreciated, and that it makes others smile, think, criticize, remember... and I hope that they provide an insight into the amazing beauty of my country's nature

I also would like to say that I value highly every comment and fave, but I just can't seem to manage on time with 'thank-you' notes, so please excuse me... However, I am doing my best to check your galleries and not leave without a sign that I've done so Please be patient with me, and thanks again

Happy holidays to you all, and see you in 2010!
