GORGEOUS capture of these beautiful critters, WTG!! We had about 5.5 inches where we are, some neighborhoods got as much as 11 with more coming later this week. <>< #11392177

So sad to see them go, Emile but they were so good to you and your camera during their stay - so many beautiful photos! No exception with this one - the details and colors are wonderful. This is the second year in a row they've come to your home, right?...maybe they sense the kind-hearted souls that live there and they'll be back next year. :) Hope so, my friend. It's an experience of a lifetime to see these beauties in such abundance, for sure! Lucky you and us! #11392338
