A nice angle, Sandy. Sounds like you have a serious addiction crisis here.

Beautiful, elegant shot Sandy. I really like the overall composition with the drift wood logs and the grasses. Hope you're able to find some again this year.

Great light on this Snowy, Sandy. A beautiful image. There have been a few spotted here in Southern Illinois recently. I am hoping I can find one this season.

I really like the "scene" you have created with this image Sandy. The colors work together very well. Nice Shot!

Sweet capture of this beauty in its habitat Sandy!

There are a couple snowies here this winter, but nothing even close to 2012 (so far)
