Hi Ken! Raspberries to you, Joan, for rubbing in our TEMP! LOL Everyday like this - we hope it is the last one for the season. Tomorrow should be much better. Spring is only a month away! Joan, your pictures are beautiful -- But, that first one almost looks like the sun reflecting on snow (that nasty four-letter-word!) Some people we know at our church, just came home last night from Orlando, where it was 85*. At home here it was -20*. That is a 100 degree difference! That's enough to shock a body! LOL

Wow, how lucky are you to have that kind of view and gorgeous sunsets. Great photos, love the silhouettes with the "fire" of the setting sun in the background.

Joan, your pictures are beautiful, as usual! I just read that sunspot activity is about as low as it has ever been so there's not much chance for northern lights right now. In more active years we used to see them often in August and September over Minnesota lakes. I'm in Florida now and miss them so much! Kate

Cool, thanks! I will check around the hoya forum for more information; if you know of a good "newbie" thread or website please let me know. I read that they need to be pot bound to bloom but not sure if that's true. Sorry to take over your thread tawny!
