Wanda10_18_04.jpg

This morning we woke up to the first snow of the season. Snow is something I have really mixed feelings about. I love how pretty it is, how fun it is to play in and of course snow means water to drink next year in this desert where we live. Of course there is the down side. It is cold, wet, a pain to drive in and I hate shoveling the stuff. The good part of today's snow was by afternoon it had mostly melted.

Also, if you haven't done it yet go check out Wanda's 2005 calendar http://www.cafepress.com/slowpokebill.9087605 Yup, guest was right we are trying to make a little money...well maybe enough to buy Wanda a new outfit or two.

I HATE winter cold and snow! The snow is pretty enough to look at, but I just don't enjoy being cold! This was tough image to pose for because I was sitting on a boulder and My bum was freezing!

Nice shot, we'll have that snow in Michigan all too soon.
I feel the same as you do, I hate to deal with the snow but I love to shoot it.

It's been a long time that we had no bigger amount of snow here, Bill. I don't like snow for the same reasons as you do, but on the other side, the beauty of a snow landscape is a real adventure. Nice shot here, only the ear-warmer headset is missing to complete it.

I can't believe you have snow....WOW!

Wanda you look so cute! The calendar looks great... You will sell lots of those, I'm sure!
