Bojan, I love this pair! They really are sweet together. :) :) Thank you!

Yes, Barbara! I think this is why they do!

Hi Courtenay! Well, I was told a while back that less is more. I'm glad you like this little image! :)

Hi Mumj! I love fresh snow. It's so pure and beautiful. This was actually a trick to get them out there without leaving marks in the snow. Thank you lots!
*
Thanks Sam!!! :D

Hi Monnie! This might be my last of the series. I took lots of shots but these were my favorites. There might be one more...not sure. So glad you liked it and thanks for your kindness and fun!

Reynaldo D. Reyes January 05, 2010
Tammy, Laura... the shadows do seem to indicate that one of them is pregnant! I guess a baby shower is out of the question, LOL! #8272203Laura E. Swan January 05, 2010
OM GOSH! I see it, too! How funny! Well...we have always heard how well Poly-Cotton blends! We should have known! HA!So what is a Snow person baby shower like? Is there snow and shovels instead of rain and umbrella's?
Humm?!
Thanks for the fun, Reynaldo!

Okay Australian Sister. What is a WAG? #8272310Graham Robards January 05, 2010
HA-HA-HA, well to tell you the truth my dearest sister I thought it meant "you are so funny" so I checked and looked up Australian slang, it means to wag school.Apparently I used the wrong word but have been using it for years and so have others so what it really means I don't know HA.
Hope I wasn't swearing at you - LOL. #8272626
