*I live in Southern California. There is no snow or snowing here. It rains and has some pretty warm summers, but never a snowing that I can remember. People who have looked at my winter styled holiday pictures that live where it snows all the time tell me I must be mad to do pictures such as this one I called Snowy Vacation. You see I lived in Las Vegas Nevada for about seven years and the heat during the summer is so extremely hot, and then moving back to Los Angeles California, and the heat was pretty good and hot here too during the last summer, that believe me...this work is a dream to be so cold and snowy. I love the snow because I never get it. People do not care for it at all who live in the places where it does snow and temperatures get down below zero. My point being, maybe I should live where you who has snow and freeze...and you can come here and love the rain and semi cool winters and hot summers............. Sorry, I wouldn't change it...I have the local mountains of Big Bear where it does snow and I also have the Pacific ocean so I can go to the beach! L.A. California.....no Snowy Vacation here. Merry Christmas and best wishes for a very Happy 2009 New Year! .......as usual, just my thoughts. .......~Johnny M. Piper J.M.Piper©2009, All Rights Reserved
