That is a cool carving, and the mossy tree is my favorite of the bunch today. Great shots!
You really can't complain about the cold if you choose to live in areas it gets cold every year. It's like living in Arizona and complaining when it gets hot because it does it every year! lol Stay warm and out of the cold!
Good analogy lol. Myself, the weather doesn't bother me a whole lot. It is only the handful of extreme temps each year that make me want to take a hot vacation.
