ReplyDeleteBut my detail brain wants to know HOW they got all these tiny snowmen so close together - - - where did the roll the snowballs off camera in order to get all those snowmen right together like that????? Where are all the ugly bare ground tracks that are left behind when snowman making is in progress?
Inquiring minds want to know - - -
Keetha,
ReplyDeleteI think the reason they're tiny is so that they don't take up too much snow! Also, I think the large drifts in the background allow a clue as to where they got all that snow from. I'm sure they arranged them and then sat them in position in the place where the camera was going to be.
Clever!
