That’s optimism.
It snowed a lot.
Our cherished rescue mutt Ellie B aka Dogamous Pyle still thought it right and proper to bring her red ball out to the backyard.
Brrrrrrr.

I’m glad you explained what happened, Mark, because I was afraid a clown had perished in your back yard. 🙂

Guess you got the snow first. Ours is coming tomorrow.
I have a huge bright blue exercise-type ball, and I’m just dying to throw it into the middle of the yard during a snowstorm and then photograph the ball and the surrounding snow from an upstairs window. It would make a great shot. Of course, then I’d have to go out and retrieve that ball at some point …

Yes to that, CM. Another object in the shot for perspective would be cool … I kind of missed that with this little red ball upon reflection. I know you can pull it off greatly.
