It is a well-known fact(?) that if you put your pyjamas on inside out and place a spoon under your pillow upon going to bed, you will wake up to a “snow day”. School buses won’t be running and you will get to wear your inside-out pyjamas for the entire day should you choose to. Somebody has indulged…
It’s more like a freezing rain day though. I’d prefer the snow.

What wonderful photos! Love the arms and the carefree joyous poses.
Thanks Jane! My daughter was a fun model! 🙂
I always heard if you put your clothes on inside out by accident, money will come to you. Either is good!
Oh you’re right! Either is good.
I’m a big fan of what you’ve got going on here
Aww, thank you so much! 🙂
Love them all! Great capture!
Thank you Iltana.
I get cold just looking at the photos !! really incredible !
Thanks Isabella, I guess you don’t get snow-days? You have a short commute! 😉
Amazing pics, your daughter’s spirit is captured through that icy window!
Thank you Janet, she was happy to have a snow day! 🙂
Marvellous effect. Love the dash of red against the white.
Thanks David, a few shots of colour certainly wouldn’t hurt my monochromatic little blog. Sometimes I wonder how it got so brown and grey, and black and white.
You never disappoint. The photos are gem-like, much like the ice.
I wish I’d known about the spoon and PJ’s when I was a kid!
That is such a nice thing to say Elena, now I’m a little worried though!
I didn’t know about this when I was a kid either unfortunately…
Class photographs Karen…so imaginative. The red and black shows the movement so well..great work 🙂
Thanks Helen. 🙂
A great spirt in these shots, perfect follow-up to your edges of ice series. Nicely done Karen!
I did not know about that practice – we are in need of snow for our mountain here, I will have to try that tonight!
Oh good luck Noel, let me know if it works!
So much energy in these, Karen. Amd two of my favourite things – shooting through raindrops on glass and red in a photograph. Yummy!
Thank you! I’m happy they are appealing to you. 🙂
Fantastic images, like them all!
I’m glad you do Alicia, I thought they were fun.
these are very fun!I have never heard of the PJ’s+spoon trick, but I think your daughter made good use of it!
Thanks Marina, I laughed when she told me last night that that’s what all her friends Facebook status’ were. Power in numbers I suppose. 🙂
Ahhh facebook – it is good for some things 😉
Love this series Karen!!! Wonderful weather!!! 😉 **
Thanks Xandre. I’m a wee bit jealous of your sunny hot weather. It’s -20c here right now!
This is an adorable post! Every bit! Gosh, I just LoVe it!!!! Thankyou 🙂 Twenty-million stars!
Aww thank you Gigi! You are welcome. 🙂
Very cool. Great idea and captures.
Thanks Michael.
Great exploration of a really clever idea.
Thanks Grant, it just kind of came together.
Nice concept, Karen! Really like the images and the sayings!
John
Glad you like this John, thank you.
SO fun and playful! LOVE these!
Yeah! Thank you.
Nice images! Very creative, using the iced window. With winter here I needed inspiration for some cold-weather shots. Thanks!!
Thanks Steve, yes it’s very cold here today. But we just got 15 cm of fresh snow (freezing rain and ice pellets) so I may have to bundle up and head out…
These are great, Karen. Nice idea. I love the textures too. 🙂
Thank you Nandini. I’m loving your snowfall in the Himalayas!
Really cool! Love them!
Gorgeous series — the concept, the execution, the movement, the splash of red.
Thank you so much Mufidah.
Right, I’m definitely going to try that then because the snow’s been staying away this year, and I’m desperate for some flakes! Cool idea for this series, and they turned out lovely.
never heard that before – love!
beautiful photos – love the idea !
Thank you, it was fun!
