As I was returning from a short walk round town and a trip to the supermarket I encountered these two young girls. At first I couldn’t believe what they were doing – surrounded by snow they seemed to be transporting a large snowball on their sledges. Why? Wouldn’t it be easier to make a snowball nearer to home? (The thought occurred to me that if they rolled it then it would have been huge by the time they got home, but practical experience tells me that wouldn’t be possible.) Maybe they were planning an Andy Goldsworthy art project, but no, it turns out the area they made it simply had better snow to make a large snowball from and they were then taking it home. Obviously.

The grass is greener and the snow is better packing on the other side, eh?
It’s a funny old world 🙂
🙂
It seems so!
Maybe it’s for a surprise”party”… 🙂
Well judging from the energy they seem to be expending, I hope there was plenty of food!
I think only girls would make such a plan for better quality snow! 🙂
Never mind the practicalities, eh? Still if they had worried about practicalities humans would never have walked on the moon – it’s worrying about them now that prevents a return.
Or perhaps it was a pet snowman and they were taking it for a walk.
Nice one. Hadn’t thought of that angle!
Hey, I was a young girl once. Makes perfect sense to me. 🙂

Having built many snowmen, snow quality is quite important as well as quantity. The park simply had more and better resources. 🙂
