I'm reminded of a snowman that I saw several years ago on the grounds of a hospital. The sun came out & he was commencing to LOSE WEIGHT. Being somewhat " portly " myself, I looked at him & thought " if only losing weight were THAT EASY. < sigh > ".
These are great! You capture a texture in some of them that I haven’t seen in snowmen before, like clay. And a pathos in their melting or decay. The second from last is genuinely a tragic figure!
Henceforth, I shall make a point of always engaging professional, accredited snowman-constructors, to add that touch of hibernal class to my Parson Browns.

The doctor said to me ‘have you had any unexpected loss of weight’ sadly not I said ....
" The shadow of my ass weighs 30 pounds " <--- I must be honest, that is a line from "" Good Morning Vietnam " that I gonniffed.

Thank you! The funny thing is that the second from the last IS the last just a few days later!
Ha! I see that now.
Some of these have an expression as they intently look at you! Beautiful photos!
Over time they do seem to grow into their expressions!
This is beautiful, and i particularly love images 1-10.
Thank you Pierre!
Wonderful! Love the carterpillar!
Thank you Susanne - yeh the caterpillar is something isn’t it!
Nice! Seasonable, for sure. No snow on this side of the world, alas.
Thank you Alex - snow isn’t a regular visitor to us sadly … although the last time I was in New York we had some!
“When you look at a snowman
it's three snowballs round,
He is reminding you
that in God, Three in One is found!
The bottom reminds us of
God the Father,
He's our strong rock and foundation.
Creator of all living things, people, tribes and nations.
The middle shows us God the Son with His arms spread open wide,
Who died on the cross for each of us
our sins Jesus' blood did hide.
The head reminds us of God the Holy Spirit
Who is our counselor and friend,
He speaks to our hearts and minds,
transforming us into the likeness of Him!
So, in the mist of wintertime fun, a snowman you do see, what a beautiful heartfelt loving reminder, of the Blessed Trinity!”

They never do quite look like on Christmas cards?
No, I agree. However hard you try they always look a tad amateur ...

I like it.
