LOL.. Pitchy you are getting that handgonne making down to an art.  I like #3 the best.  Neat photos.   As neat as the handgonne is, the background in your photos is just as interesting.  I haven't been in that much snow since we moved back home from Connecticut 40 years ago.  ;D

Pitchy

Thanks Ironwood, yep we`re getting a good amount of snow for here this year. Heat wave moved in last night, 30`s today they say. We`re going snowshoing today to the cabin.
