Year 4 Day 36

A sneak peak at what -11° looked like in my backyard this morning. ***best viewed large.

A practiced and perfected technique was used to get this shot and many others. It consists of blowing the bubble, watching to see if it burst upon reaching the ground and, if it didn't, belly flop into the snow and army crawl to get just the right angle. It was cold, it hurt until I lost all feeling in my lower half, and I was mad when I had to stop playing and come inside. Amazingly fun! ;)
