Brrrr! It's a cold one this morning... I've been wanting to capture a cold and frosty morning for a while but it's really too toasty and warm under the duvet to be tempted to venture out, however today I did just that. I didn't have to go that far either to take this picture which is sad really.

that is as frosty as frosty gets! The ice on the can is like iron dust on a magnet. Every time we came back from France via channel tunnel, it was fun to stock up on beer. I saw a British mother and 3 kids with enough Stella to fill the whole back of an estate car (station wagon) Regardless, I like this photo best, it makes me shiver.

Blush! I'm just a tad [actually very] flattered to think you turned to ME for inspiration especially on your 365th... Cheers David!

Ooh, see I touched a nerve on the boys of Britain! Sorry. I like my California beers!! LOL! Maybe YOUR version of Stella IS better. I rememeber when I lived in Spain, the Budweiser they made there wasn't nearly as nasty as what they made here in the states!! Go figure!

Hey Jeanne - nothing wrong with the Stella we get here! . Ian - saw this and got inspiration for today's PotD . Thanks!

Good photo Ian. Great idea, well executed

Great texture. I know what you mean about the cold weather. It got down to about 40 degrees (Fahrenheit) here last night. Only getting up to the 60's today. Brrrrrr. :)

I took a few other shots but they were all a bit clichéd, I knew this was the one before I'd even taken the shot. I just wanted to make a statement. And as for the beer, what are you like Jeanne eh?? Stella rules! (in bottles of course!) Don't tell me you're a Mudlooseer fan?? LOL!

Sad for a few reasons. First the obvious, the disregard people have for land! And secondly, it's crappy beer to start with! Get any other frost shots?

Hey what were you doing in front of my house this morning? It looks familiar. No, I guess not, I don't recognize the brand.

Excellent photo - I agree with the sentiment about how sad it is though! Aren't people disgusting sometimes?
