Inspired to post an unpublished Snowy photo from my files after viewing a beautiful Snowy photo sent by a good friend.

Late-afternoon photo, with long shadow and snow turning from blue to an eventual magenta colour.

Early morning and late-afternoon are the best times to photograph Snowys with their eyes wide open. The sun is too harsh for their eyes at mid-day, causing squinting.

Small crop for composition purposes. About three annoying tiny snow reflection speckles corrected.
