    Snow Minions

    I have been waiting for a big snowstorm to call up the snow minions. They only appear when the full moon comes out. I set up my "big game" camera and captured these playful characters as they cavorted in the fresh fallen snow.

    Snow Minions

    c&c welcome

    This is just too cool Marie! Everything from the Minions to the night scene!

    Do they only come out at night?

    I saw a story about them the other day and thought they were so cool. The landscape they are sitting in Marie is gorgeous - love the tones.

    Dear Kim,

    I loved them!

    Sometimes even grownups need to take the time to play.

    I beg to disagree. The far right is definitely a boy. Everybody can see that. Doh.

    Enjoyed that Marie. Made me smile. A great bit of fun but that apart, it's also a really good shot. All this talk about males and females is nonsense. They are of course, hermaphrodites and shape shifters (which is why Richards thinks he hasn't seen them).

    I love it. First you see the little green eyes and then you are drawn to the background. You live in a beautiful place with a super view, and you captured it so well.

    Dear John 2,

    I really enjoyed this shoot. My husband built the snow bumps for me and i shot the pictures.

    I was grateful for his brawn.

    Dear Kim,

    One of these long years, you and your husband will have to come for a visit.

    We live up on a very high knoll on 10 acres above the Ohio River on the western side of West Virginia. The daily views and sunrises and sunsets are more than just beautiful.

    Dear Donna,

    Thank you!!! We love it up here! We live on 10 acres and the remoteness of the location makes it doubtful that we will ever have any close neighbors.
