Wanda 12_16_06.jpg

You know not every day is glamorous. Today started out as one of those days. We had a pretty good snowstorm last night and this morning and you can tell by the snow on Wanda's hat it was still coming down while we were out shoveling the driveway and walks.

Nothing like shoveling almost a foot of snow to work up a sweat. Wanda lost the coat and was just down to her Under Armor Cold Gear.

Credit where credit is due - you appear to have gotten more snow-shovelling work out of your favourite model than I did with mine. See www.pbase.com/albertaracers/galleries/38_years_with_Diane

Pass the snow to Michigan please.... we're likely going to have a brown Christmas :(

Glad you are the photographer, I like this scene better.

This is just a black and white conversion ... the background is all snow.

It snowed anther 5 or 6 inches ... time to go shovel some more.

I am jealous....for the first time ever (50 some years) I think we may not have a white Christmas here in northern Minnesota. I would love some snow......and Wanda to do the shoveling. The contrast works really well in this B&W.

Wait a minute Bill. You said, "while WE were out shoveling the driveway and walks". You really do need to patent that shovel mounted camera tripod you were using... :-D

God, I'm glad I live in Florida! It was 78 here today and the forecast is the same for tomorrow. Is this image desaturated or is it "white-out" conditions?
