Today, I drove an hourout to Lake Geneva, WIto take photos of the National Championship Snow Sculpting Competition. I had been looking forward to it for over a month since not much else goes on around here this time of year! People come from Canada and all over to compete. I took about 200 photos including some on the way there and back of snowy country landscapes, farms animals and snowmobilers. I came home and instantly loaded them on my computer using Canons Utility Program and watched them all load really pleased at what I was seeing! The photos were pretty awesome!

Thank goodness it wasn't some major event but even so ...I really liked a majority of the shots and the ones I have are the worst of the bunch! [:'(]
