    Pure magic Lois …............. been in a fight yet ? .............. :))

  • Lois Bryan replied

    Fight??? Snowball fight??? LOL!!! Actually … my son’s been known to lob one in my direction upon occasion!!! But both he and my husband are ski instructors up there so by the time they get back to the cabin they’re usually too pooped for horseplay. In fact, everyone but me skis!!! I’m the one all bundled up like the Michelin man with the black thing stuck to my face!!

    Awesome shot Lois, I love the overall feel of it. Great color treatment too!

  • Lois Bryan replied

    Hi Eric!!!! Thank you so much!!! But there really wasn’t a “color treatment” at all … the light itself … filtering through those crazy clouds … did it all. I kind of wish it were a treatment … it would mean I’d be able to reproduce it!!!!!! LOL!!!
