Olympia

Took a drive to see Olympia, the world's largest snowwoman after school yesterday. About a month after being dedicated, she's looking a little snirty (to borrow a word from Angela), one arm is broken, most of her rope hair is gone, and most of her mica necklace has fallen apart.
She's a big girl, isn't she? That's DD and her friends in the photo.Her ski eyelashes, wreath eyes, and tire mouth are largely intact, though.
My friend and I got a kick out of her cheesetastic-ness.

And here are the beauties who took us for our wagon ride on Easter. The sunlight was awfully bright. Did I do an okay job post processing these?


Dd gives him a pat:

The end.

  18. LOVE LOVE that snowwoman! What an absolute HOOT!! Nice work with the horses in the bright sun; really like the second shot of them. Ironic--you wait all winter for sun, and then grouse because it messes up your photos. ONly photographers appreciate overcast days...

  19. Wow! Wait, let me rephrase that. WOW! On both the size the Snirt-Queen, and your absolutely gorgeous horse photos! I love the pping you did on these, and each one has an excellent perspective! (But that humongous snowgirl isn't really too snirty. . . she's looking too clean for snirt.)

  22. oh my gosh..that snowman is AWESOME. i'd hate to be around when it starts melting though. good grief..the eyelashes could put an eye out. great horse shots too.

  23. I don't think I have ever seen a snow man anywhere close to that size. To funny. What a wonderful sleigh ride that must have been.
    BTW no I havent gotten over the emotional part of ds accident. I am usually not a crier but now everything makes me cry. Hopefully one day soon I will get back to normal.

  29. Wow, that is one HUGE snowlady! I really like how you have your dd and friend in the photo for perspective.

    You did a great job on pp'ing the horse shots, I like the dark edges. My favorite shot of all is the last one, I just love the decoration in the tail. I used to show horses and ride my horses in the parades and always decorated their tales. :)
