I woke up to about 5" of snow...a mere dusting for those of you in northern climes but a logistical and travel nightmare for us in the more temperate zones. Fortunately it's Sunday so we have time to dig out the cars, shovel the driveway, have hot cocoa, carbo load and watch some football.
Hope you haven't gotten tired of snowys yet despite the lack of variation. I am thinking of bring mouse flavored granola bars next go around to see if I can pique its interest. I know I love them .
Seriously, how much would it hurt to strap one of those deer that are eating my trees, shrubs, plants to my car and just leave it for the owl...I wonder if I would get weird looks on the NJ turnpike...probably not as long as it doesn't look like Jimmy Hoffa. Actually, I suspect the deer would be a tad large, maybe the damn groundhog that has been making my backyard look like the fairways in Caddyshack! Please, no angry replies and letters to PETA...its all a joke, well maybe.
I promise this will be the last snowy post...until the next one. I must find another one cuz all these juveniles/females look so totally different
Happy Sunday everyone and hope your team beats the point spread!
Eric

Tried to slip that adult in, or are you holding out on the good stuff. Just plowed my drive (it's 1/4 mile long) and now to shovel my pond for some skating. #3 and 6 have a good look.
All the best to your team. It's not the "Brady" bunch; or is it. Don

Thanks Don. The adult was from last year, same location. No adults males seen this year and I don't know if the owl we photographed is a female or a juvenile...maybe one of the experts on the forum can help differentiate between the two.

A pox on the Brady Bunch I say Giants fan from as far back as 1961 with YA Tittle and Del Shofner!
I love the 1/4mile driveway....at home that's a major street
And oh, the pond...a true Canadian...gotta love it. I have never skated on an indoor rink in my life...of course I haven't skated since I was 12. Despite that I am a hockey nut...too bad we each have home teams (NYR and Leafs) that suck!
I'm glad to see Toronto doing its best to lure away the Bills from Buffalo....do they need to give away free Molsons to get that place filled?

Hi Eric,

The first 2 in the pretty light are over the top. 6 looks like you took it over my shoulder and I’ve got shots that look just like that one though I’ve got some catch light in the eyes.

I just came in from shoveling, we had two inches of slush and I wanted that mess up before it freezes tonight. At least I’ve got a teenager to help with the task. Now we are both warm and relaxing.

Pore Don, ¼ mile driveway, I’d get a plow.

Eric; once again; great shots !
I have an idea. On your way, Stop off in the city, take a short subway ride and grab some good 'ole NYC rats. Can't beat them for luring in those Snowies.
About the hockey. I'm the opposite of you. Started skating at four, played organized hockey well into my late thirties.
Can't stand watching a game! Go figure.
Let me know how you make out with the rats.

Beautiful set Eric,

The 1st and 2nd are just fantastic because the color rendition and contrast.

I am having a hard time processing the shots I shoot during and after the sun set, the white balance and blue channel is tricky to keep in balance.

Thanks Brian...and I guess just like us they always close their eyes when they yawn...but they do have a cool tongue.
