One would almost get the impression you like this white stuff. 😀
Looks like you have a white hedgehog in there.
I agree, though… nice one!

  Hmm…well, One would be correct…I do rather enjoy the white stuff…and I am rather pleased when it happens to pop into my frame like it did here…kind of just waiting for a camera to come along…. And yes, I do believe there’s something like a hedgehog in there…. Thank you, Gunta.

    Over your bare knees in snow? Now that’s what I call roughing it.

      Uhm…actually…my old(er) knees have requested a bit more wrapping this year, so I have been using some Under-Armor thermal things under my shorts…so up over the knees was quite alright this year…. 😉

I agree with Robyn – you have a real gift with snow images.
It takes a really gifted photographer to make simple images come alive or great compositions in shape and light.
Being a good photographer is not as easy as one thinks. Anyone can press a shutter button, but not everyone can draw the viewer into the scene and bring the landscape alive.

  Our mountains got between 12-28 inches over the last four days…I’d say I’m rather full of it, myself…but yes, like diamonds, Susan. 🙂

  It was indeed, Karen…little china plates of frost that tinkled when knocked over gently with my hand…and I sunk over my knees in the snow while making the images….
