The snow-trimmed bike is great; can't believe all the snow you've gotten. I can't figure out the letters in the next image. The snow-topped seed pods make me want to sketch a pen and ink drawing, if only I could draw. You stretch my imagination and way of looking beyond the obvious. Enough snow on the prairie this year? Thanks.
Gregg -- The letters are actually short sections of snow that fell from the power line. At first I thought it was some kind of strange animal track but then I'm familiar with most critters around here and knew it had to be something else. It was a wet heavy snow like we see in spring and if nothing else I took heart that winter will eventually end. And wow, thanks for the kind compliments. I draw so much inspiration from others so it's nice being able to pass it down the line.

Love the images. (I do believe I would love them more if it were now July)
