Whoa... NO THANKS to the white stuff... awesome capture! #9295151

Michelle Alton March 17, 2011

Looks like another world, for sure. It's unbelievable, and the delicate morning altocumulus (I think) clouds really soften it. #9295517

Agnes Fegan level-deluxe March 17, 2011

It sure doesn't look like spring where you are!!! Terrific image Irene! #9296499

Wow Irene, this is amazing! I was going to shoot the 2ft high drift across the street from my house but this puts it to shame. LOL
Perfect, especially with those clouds. #9313483

This is such an amazing image. It looks similar to a huge ocean wave, don't you think so?

I feel you have a prize winner on your hands here, Irene! Very original and as always top notch!

It looks like something out of a movie. What neat shapes the wind carved for this great capture. It looks cold even with the blue skies and sun shining on this snow sculture. It reminds me of white chocolate shavings. #9397018

Was just wondering if this snow is gone now. I heard Colorado has a lot of snow somewheres and they are still skiing. #9437293

This absolutely stunning. I've never seen that much snow. I live in the sunny south. #9575210

Debbie Bray September 30, 2011

What an amazing, gallery you have, Patricia! I've not ever even seen snow, so to see it like that is just phenominal! Especially on a prairie! I thought that snow fell mainly around mountains. Your other images are beautiful too. A lovely slice of prairie life and wildlife. #9708395
