Snowhog's snowman
Shooting in Cades Cove with Mike back in Feb of 2009
I had been jealous of Snowhog’s snow she had been getting all year ( wouldnt surprize me if she is Still getting snow! grrrr) while it was passing my area, and we might get alittle to tease us.
But while Mike and I were out shooting in the cove, grabbing all we could of the snow while it was here. I had promised Snowhog a snowman IF I ever got the chance to make one. So while Mike is shooting, I start grabbing some snow together, finding little pebbles that would Stay to create the face, and a few twigs that were sturdy enough to create the arms (had to keep it authentic to the area ya know). Hands frozen since the type of snow we had, stuck to my gloves. At one time I had more snow on my gloves then I did for the snowman.
So here ya go snowhog, your snowman from the Great Smoky Mountains (literally) :)
Snowhog's snowman belongs to the following groups:
