Back to comment... This poor guy! He seems like a lost effort, a failed experiment in snowman building. Soulful, lost eyes. Hangdog arms. Yet, he has spirit. Even if he's a little blue.
Well this is excellent! The photograph sucks a wee bit, but it's all the better for that because it's so apt for this modest but truly beautiful little snowman. He is quite perfect, immensely engaging and it's clear why you felt about him as you do (did). I hope he comes back next year, and in the meantime your photograph will look great hanging on my imaginary 2010 wall. I'll smile every time I see it. Thank you.
