The pics are great, thank you for sharing!:)

[beeniesmom]

Wow, very nice.

[ChrisH]

Aw, thanks so much for the lovely comments, I know Dannielle will be pleased you like them. I think she takes some great photos. She is very much into birds/wildlife and the new camera she got for Christmas is really helping her get the shots she wants.

By the way, she is just 13 years old.

Great pictures - it's funny, as the pond water doesn't LOOK frozen, if it weren't for the fact that the birds are standing on it.

I was thinking the same thing....looks like they are walking on the water!!!

[ChrisH]

Yeah, as you say, it does look as if they are walking on water. :D

It is actually bigger than a pond, more like lake size, and there was a hole in part of it where the ducks were congregating. Dannielle did take some photos of that but I don't have them on my computer. :rolleyes:

These are lovely photos Chris. It sounds as though Danielle is very pleased with her Christmas present.

[ChrisH]

Thanks, Karen. :)

Yes, she is very happy with the camera. My son's friend/workmate is a semi-professional photographer who takes the photos at the gigs they cover, he bought himself a new camera and he sold his 'old' one, at a good price, to my son for Danni. Worked out well all round. :D

Here is a photoshop 'sketch' version that I made of one of Danni's photos.

I quite like it. :)

That's really nice! I think it would make a very pretty Christmas card. :)
