 I went to the grocery store and decided to find a semi-private spot to get a few images of me standing and smiling in the deep snow.

I found this spot around the corner from my house, parked the car, set-up the tripod and timer and ran and posed, ran and posed, ran and fell, ran and fell. Needless to say I am not smiling anymore and this is about how I feel in the snow anyways!!

I noticed I'm taking on the shape of snow, guess that's what 11 winters in this stuff will do to you! hehehe.

I packed up my gear and turned around to see a man that was shoveling on a nearby rooftop watching me, guess he saw me fall! This snow is powder so it's all in fun, yeah right.. ;)

That is a crazy amount of snow. I thought we've been having it bad here in Chicago. Fun shot!

I didn't slip on the snow I actually I lost my balance in the deep snow and just tipped over! I wanted to stand in it so you all could see how friggin deep it is! We've been hit extra this year. This corner is where the tractors dump the snow from around town so it is piled-up extra deep.

Love it! What sacrifice, too! The light is so brilliant and the snow - ack! So white - beautiful to look at. Probably not so great to be in (not a snow fan, me). Great SP!

Lovely snow shot. We were feeling badly let down by the weather this winter until today that is! Woke up this morning to a blanket of the white stuff and it's forecast to snow all week. I hope you didn't hurt yourself when you slipped.

That's quite a bit of snow there. I bet that falling over into it really woke you up with a start.

Wow! That spot looks like the North Pole. Maybe all of us on this challenge should chip in and buy you a wireless remote?

That is a ton of snow. Great shot of the snow. It has to be hard to get the right exposure with all of that light.

You have way more snow than i do! That's funny that some guy was shoveling a rooftop. We've only had to do that once in my lifetime. I like your shadow.
