Sunday Selections #180

Sunday Selections was originally brought to us by Kim, of Frogpondsrock, as an ongoing meme where participants could post previously unused photos languishing in their files. 

The meme is now continued by River at Drifting through life.  The rules are so simple as to be almost non-existent.  Post some photos under the title Sunday Selections and link back to River.

Like River I usually run with a theme.   It is winter here - and I am loving it.  And remembering winters gone by.  So I have dug out an old photo album, scanned a few photos and am presenting a few shots from a wonderful winter day probably forty years ago.

I was a school girl and a few friends and I had a day at the snow.  Remember black and white photography?  And only taking a few photos because processing them was sooooo expensive?  The quality of these photos is not wonderful - but the day was.

That is me with my behind in the air - and I still remember the bruise when I landed.  Spectacular - and painful.  And worth it.

My feminist self was starting to emerge.  I said that I was tired of only seeing snowmen and insisted that we create a snow woman.  So the Snowslut was born.  I have shown her before - but she still makes me smile.

A treat in the mail

Some of you may remember that a little while ago Spectra of Spectrum Woman proposed a Great American Snowman Contest to be run over the American winter

I bitched and moaned about her geographica and climatical prejudices.  She gave in and extended the contest to anyone who wanted to play, using whatever materials were available.

So I cheated and entered the snow woman I had made at while I was at school.

In all her glory, here she is.

The Great Australian Snow Slut.

And she won a prize!
 Which arrived today.  Earrings to add to my (very large) collection.  And I am sure that the snow slut approves.

Thank you Spectra.  From both of us.
