I went for another hike with the snowshoes on again today and took some pictures of just some of the natural snow sculptures.

The Owl


a bird


Buffalo


The Cat in the Hat


this tree was playing Peek-A-Boo


a Stilt Walker


The Thinker


This looked like a Dragon waking up


And this looked like a Mushroom to me

Maybe.....or could be too much eggnog.

Imagination...the first step to the composition and capture.

Those are a lot of fun! We finally got a dusting of snow today, just enough to make it pretty, but I don't imagine it'll stay. My snowshoes are still stored away. Thanks for the vicarious walk in the snow!

Merry Christmas Little Laker!

Wonderful! I love the snow and wish we would get some beautiful coverings like you. Not going to happen, though.

The only one I can't match to your title is the dragon. All of the rest of them popped out even before I read your titles. But, I saw a pear instead of a mushroom first in the last one. It does look like a mushroom, too, though.

I've really enjoyed all of your walks so far! Keep them coming!

Wonderful shots Stu, and I would agree with Clarence about the eggnog No really, I like them all, and you do have a very creative mind. That is one of the most important things in photography. (Creativity, and composition)

Good Shooting.

As you can tell I'm having a lot of fun in the snow here, and my snowshoes are really paying for themselves. It's amazing how fast I'm getting back into shape.

I haven't touched the eggnog yet, but I'm back on the prescription pain killers, so that might explain my imagination

Remarkable. I could actually see what you are describing, except the second one looks more like a baby elephant to me.

It takes great imagination to see these things. Without them being pointed out to me, I would not see them.

Great shots Stu. I love what snow and wind can do. Last year my old subaru got magically transformed into a stretch Lomborghini! Good names for all of them except the last. That one I would call "R2D2's brother"

Hi Stu, let me guess them all

1. A witch dressed in rugs
2. A baby elephant in foetal stage
3. A little girl with big collar going to a flower market with a basket
4. A caterpillar coming out of something?
5. Back side of a disney cartoon princess in gowns
6. Star war robot
7. Elderly scientist with bifocal lenses
8.
9. A seal into the river with tail in the air

Cheers

Great photos!

[little laker]

I love it, I can see everything that everyone has pointed out in them as well

I took several other interesting pictures that I couldn't identify. I might post some tomorrow and see what everyone can see in them.
Off to bed for me now though. Good night everyone.

Thanks for the posts, Little Laker,

I was about to mention the eggnog too but, after looking a second and third time, I finally saw your images as you did.

This wasn't a Rorschach test, was it? If it was I'll go back and give my own perceptions.

Thanks again, Dan
