Admittedly, not a photo from this year though.....

I think Dave's pic could be a still from a Harry Potter movie. Really nice.

Also, what have you guys got against Moggies??? And the Sceptre brought back memories of my own. It was silver and was one of the best cars I ever had.

Yes, Hogsmeade at winter :)

This was taken early morning with a basic digital camera sitting on the porch railings. Cropped to give panaromic effect. Probably one of the best pictures I took last winter and might use it for christmas cards this year ;)

This winter has not been nearly as picturesque so far (not as cold either) but still a month or so left.
