I came upon this crime scene this morning. The victim was face down with a carrot sticking from his back. I believe that the weapon was his own nose. The evidence is slowly melting and the trail is getting so cold, it's frosty.
I've seen such great looking snowmen posted on here in the past weeks. We made our first the other day and the snow was dirty. It looked pretty ghetto and not worthy of a 365 photo. When out walking the dog last night, I discovered him knocked over, face down. And then my gears started turning. Yes, he is worthy of a photo now:).
Funny side note: My neighbor saw me setting up the "crime scene" this morning...taping off the body and came over to investigate. Great, the other day I am running around outside in my pj's and today I am killing a snowman in my yard. Oh boy!
I can't stop laughing over this Amanda! SPECTACULAR way to represent a snowman!
Love your sense of humor, the effort that went into this, and your success in finally capturing a snowman image for your project!
BRAVO!!!!!
Fantastic. You are bonkers, that's why i love following you so much. I know a joke about snowmen, wanna hear it? Of course you do. OK, One snowman says to another snowman, "can you smell carrots?!"
BAAAA HAHHAHAHAHHAH I fell on the floor with this one! Awesome creativity and fun thinking! :) Love the carrot in the back! :) Soooooo great! :) Love it! :)
@soboy5 Oh, good one. I almost used an icicle as the weapon, but it would have been even weirder as I would have gotten it from my neighbor's house. Climbing a ladder int heir front yard and stealing their icicles. I guess I could have asked. The carrot did show up well, though, and to be killed with your own nose is pretty awful.:)
@lfrans I left it out all bloody and stabbed. Hoping to make others laugh. It would be funny to catch some reactions on film. (whispering) And I think you are right... Thank you!
@nadaa Gotta get some excitement around here. It's mostly retired folks who don't get out much (not that I do either);).
@gphelps5 LOVE your comments, Bulldog. Swear away...it's like a pun. Is bloody really bad, like the f word? I never knew and I say it once and again. Do you think that a dead, murdered snowman could ever make the pop page:). Thank you for the hard, knob knocking fav!!:)))
@seanoneill Love your joke and love that you appreciate my bonkers. I think that I feel a follow up selfie coming:). Thanks, Sean. Happy weekend!
@tryeveryday It was ours, it fell over and I went with it...making it a murdered snowman. SO embarrassing that the neighbor caught me putting together the scene. What a nutcase I must appear to be:). Ok, so I am, but...
@fireflyknights Thanks so much, my friend. It was fun to come up with/pull off.
@butrfli Thanks, Miss Dana. You back home now missing Cabo?
@emrob I know. It was pretty freakin' embarrassing! Thanks, Mandy!!
@yonnie Aw, thanks so much Yvonne. Really appreciate that you liked it and the fav!!:))
@kwind That would be so much fun. We could be crazy camera ladies together. Thanks so much for your sweet comments:)))!
@sambewitching That is so funny, Samantha. I'd love to see someone come upon it and catch their reaction. It's kindof in our backyard, though. I will try to catch something. Great idea. SO glad that you liked it!! Thank you!
@tbats22 I am feeling a follow up selfie coming on. One of my goals for this year is to perfect the selfie (like you have). Thanks for your fun comments, my friend:)!
Oh my Lordy to make me laugh! Love the set up, the shot and your words! Fantastic! I live on a fairly busy street...wonder what my neighbors think of me...oh dear!
OMG, that is hilarious! Way to go in the imagination department on that one. Cannot wait until tomorrow. Maybe we'll know who the murderer is! Thanks for the laugh.
OMG too funny. I swear thank goodness we don't live in the same hood people would have us committed. The best was when I was outside with my tripod taking a photo of my house. The neighbors drove by so slowly. :)
So I hope you find the perp soon. I know you won't sleep until the case is solved. :)
@annbo Oh so very glad that it did. Thanks so much for your sweet comments and the fav, Ann!!
@judithg Oooh, good one. Thanks, lady! It does make one a little bit crazy. Stay tuned for a follow up photo:).
@michelleyoung Thanks so much, Michelle. Glad that you liked it!
@edie Love that you said that. Thank you so much, my friend!
@sparkle Definitiely makes you a little nutty. Yes, I agree, too. Glad for the chuckle. Thanks, lady!!
@aleksandra You should so do it. It was so much fun. I only wish that mine were in the front in a more obvious place...then I would stalk with a camera to catch reactions. Thanks so much for your fun comments and the FB request:). I really need to be turning 365 off now. I can't look away!!!!
@helixconcepts I think that we may have to wait for Sunday. Tomorrow is my downtown Cincy meet up and I will have a photo from that hopefully...unless we catch the killer there. Thanks so much, Laura. Really appreciated your comments and the follow.
@btorrey Or want to move away. I hope that it is love. I would find it hilarious if a for sale sign goes up soon. Thanks so much, lady! Appreciate your comments!
@dapinsker Did they ever kill a snowman? I didn't read it much, though I do seem to remember them playing in the snow a bunch. Thanks, Marc.
@aspada Ah, he was a dirty man (he was made of dirty snow). Maybe he had it coming;-). Thanks, Amy!
@onie Thank you so much, Leonie! Glad you enjoyed my dead snowman;-).
@sadiec That would be so much fun, until we were committed, of course. Funny about your neighbors wondering what the heck you were doing. Why do tripods creep people out so when you are photoing in their windows;-). Just kidding. Thanks so much, Sadie. Whoever did this heinous crime needs to be put on ice!
@wendyhgill Aw, Wendy...that is so very sweet of you to say. Music to my ears (or eyes in this case). I will try. Thanks, sweet lady!
@archaeofrog That is wonderful to hear. I wish that you were MY neighbor, Katie. Thanks so much, friend!
@anazad511 Aw, Ana...I am so glad to hear that. Sorta hoping that they move soon so I can photo the for sale sign.;-)
@jamiemathiau Thanks so much, Jamie. Great to hear that!!
@jsw0109 Aw, thanks, Jeff. I hope so, too. Today was fun. We plan to do it again soon. Soooo awesome to meet up with other crazy photographers. There was a pack of us.:)
You are so funny and tell such a wonderful story that you make me laugh so much every time I read what you write. I cannot believe you did this. Well, yes I can. I have not seen one snowman on her at all until yours. And of course yours is flat on the ground. I sure hope you write, take photos and go somewhere with your talent and sense of humor. Creative genius. FAV
@gphelps5 I was so happy that this one made it up there. One of my first fun ones up:). Thanks again for your support, friend:).
@lesip Thank you, Leslie. Glad to give you a laugh!
@mstipe It can be one more time waster, but it is nice in it's own regard to. I get it, though. Thanks, lady! Hope that you all are doing well this new year!
@tanja_1211 Thanks so much, Tanja. Appreciate your laugh:).
I just caught up by clicking on all the links and had a blast..of laughter that is..you're so creative..could see this theme in a book series..what a talent.
I know I'm coming late to the party (having just returned from the US) but this is super fun. I'd say it was Colonel Mustard on the front lawn with a carrot😛
@jennwearing I was thinking Clue, too. How funny. The killer was caught though...see the mug shot a few days later with a write up. Thanks so much, Jennifer!!
"We've known for awhile that she was a bit odd, but this whole snowman thing....she's a complete LOON.
Stay away from her, I say. Yep, just stay away. If she speaks to you, simply smile, nod and back away slowly. Quick movements might disturb her.
I'm putting my house up for sale, how about you?"
Love your sense of humor, the effort that went into this, and your success in finally capturing a snowman image for your project!
BRAVO!!!!!
Sorry to swear but that is bloody fantastic!
* Hits the +FAV so hard, the knob falls off!
@rockinrobyn Seriously. I kinda hope that their house goes on the market soon, as that would make a funny photo.:)
@fueast Yes, maam. If they move soon it will be so funny! Of course it would be all because of me;-).
@hopelessromantic How funny! Good title. Thanks, Peter!
@soboy5 Oh, good one. I almost used an icicle as the weapon, but it would have been even weirder as I would have gotten it from my neighbor's house.

You should do a book with your funniest shots and write ups.
@aurorajane It had to be a photo, right?!;-) Thanks!
@jankoos Thanks so much, Jan!!
@thirtysevenways I had forgotten about that...thanks for sharing. What a great cartoon that was. Thanks, Andy!
@darsphotos You are wonderful. Thanks for those amazing comments and fav, friend. You inspire me to dream and figure out a way to use my strengths.
@gailmmeek I know. It's mostly retired people, so maybe it's fun for them to have some excitement:). Thanks, Gail!
@losthorizon Thanks, Beau. I had forgotten about that when I did this, but you are right. Very similar.
@sailingmusic I just may have to do that. Thanks for the sweet words and inspiration, Myrna!
@kbalychev I wondered if a murdered snowman could make PP. So glad that it did:).
I'll keep checking in on you though!
@lesip Thank you, Leslie. Glad to give you a laugh!
@mstipe It can be one more time waster, but it is nice in it's own regard to. I get it, though. Thanks, lady! Hope that you all are doing well this new year!
@tanja_1211 Thanks so much, Tanja. Appreciate your laugh:).
@copperheadglass So glad that you thought so. Hilarious that you laughed at work and had some 'splaining to do:).
@jennwearing I was thinking Clue, too. How funny. The killer was caught though...see the mug shot a few days later with a write up. Thanks so much, Jennifer!!

This is PRICELESS!
