Wanda01_08_05.jpg

It was a beautiful afternoon today. The sun was out and the temperature was in the 50's and it was warm enough you didn't want a jacket on while playing. We built that snowman we talked about a few days ago. The breeze kicked up and the clouds rolled in just as Wanda was putting the finishing touches on her snowman. The light reflecting off the snowman was fantastic. I'm glad I got this capture.

I remember this day! The snow was perfect for making a snowman! I had worked up such a sweat making the lower portion cuz the snow was so wet and heavy, that I had to lose the scarf and jacket I was wearing when I started the project. Which of course made for a better image anyway. (giggle) The timing was perfect with the weather and the lighting. I had just finished the snowman when the wind decided to kick up, which made it a bit too cold for Me! The sun had dropped just a bit so that now it was shining right over My shoulder and onto the snowman, which made for a great reflector.

Bill got this shot just as a gust of wind chilled Me to the bone and blew My hair all around. It's a wonder to Me that I almost have a smile on My face. I was actually thinking "Brrrrrrrrrrrrr, Damn, that's cold!"
