snow masks

late last evening, when the snow finally tapered off we went outside into the white, fluffy world,  all dampened and quiet by the new, pristine layer of snow. it was still and lovely and the perfect snow for playing. it made great snowballs and excellent snow angels. then, husband got the bright idea of making a faceprint in a clean stretch of snow. it was so cool, i had to run in for the camera.

the faceprints are really quite spooky. it's amazing how clearly you can see every wrinkle and the expression. what's also amazing is how they pop out of the picture, when in reality, they're pressed into the snow.

husband

me, clearly not relishing that faceful of cold.

another one of sabin.

hers is spookiest, because it looks like a little girl buried in the snow.

aren't they deliciously creepy?
