Alatar, are you near DC or in Michigan? We got quite a few inches yesterday here in New Angmar... I mean, Detroit.

Pittsburgh. I like the snow, but the hills and bridges make traveling entertaining, especially when some municipalities take a passive "all natural" approach to snow removal.

While most other dads were, presumedly, sitting on their couches watching the Olympics while sipping a brew of choice, I was outside with the family for yet another night of 'night sledding.' As we walked to our starting point, my shadow cast a well-padded figure across the new snow bed (yes, we got more

). The disk-like sled that I carried made the figure look like Boromir as he stood warming himself by Gandalf's unnatural fire.

Later, I shared another moment with the Steward's son character as I lugged a little one back through the snow.

Here are a few Ents I saw running about in my recent travels in the Fangorn Forest. Shame most of them have been cut down by loggers. And by loggers I mean Sauruman of course.

NOTE: These Ents were of the Redwood species.

Wow those are gorgeous photos. You have a talent.

Where exactly is the said Fangorn Forest?

Thank you.

Said Fangorn Forest is in Northern California. Redwood National and State Parks.

Wow, those Redwoods are absolutely amazing and I'd love to go to see them. The work of Sauruman indeed to cut them down.

Actually, it looks just like this. I'm not a professional photographer or anything. Just a plant enthusiast who feels the need to produce photographic proof of every specimen I come across. It's MUCH better in real life!

Alas, this sign was misleading...
