^My old standby and the scent my daughter loves, "Midnight Jasmine", and new to me "Juicy Citrus & Sea Salt", "Dried Lavender & Oak" and "White Jasmine".




^ New to me: " A Calm & Quiet Place".

Any other Yankee candle fans here? I just got a coupon in the mail for buy two, get two free so I bought eight candles. My daughter will get at least one of them and the rest I'll save like I did last year when I bought them and use them over the next year. My current favorite scent, "Shore Breeze", is no longer available but they often times bring back scents.

We've had Yankee Candles for years. One of the early scents was blueberry. Loved it. Now I like Macintosh. I tend to like fruit vs flower scents. Same with body lotion. One time I bought one of the tarts in the lemon scent. It was like burning a can of Pledge. Tossed that one. Have to be careful where you burn the candles, they can get a bit of black sooty smoke in the area. I leave mine on the kitchen stove.
I also like this option...

I trim the wicks before lighting them and always use the lids if it's the kind of candle that has one that fits. They don't Make one for the square candle. I don't have problems with the soot doing that.

Can't stand the perfume smell or the possible fire exposure.

OK. Still behind on stuff, but here's some waterfall pics from last week up here in the Poconos. I was really hoping for snow to get something a little different, but it's nature, you take what you can get. More wolves when I get to that card.






This one is from the side.

Then I put the wide angle on, ventured out onto some rocks in the middle of the stream and shot closer to the center.

Nice. I like the contrast from the ice vs the water.

Nice, Gary. How cold is it there? I am a weather wimp when it comes to heading out.

It's been in the 20s/30s. Saturday, we went for an ATV tour. It was in the teens when we left the house and 20 degrees when we got there for the tour. Doesn't take long for those temps to really hit home if you're not prepared.
