Snow Swimming

Our big blizzard has melted for the most part. We are just down to those huge dirty piles left everywhere by the snowplows. Looking back over all the photos, I pulled this head shot of Wilson out of a bigger overall picture. Here he had decided to cut his own path across our snow maze, hoping to beat Jimmy to one of the prizes. Of course he didn't take into consideration all the resistance the snow would create, and Jimmy beat him by using the trails. I thought this picture looked a bit like he was swimming through the snow, his head thrown up the way he does when he's bringing back a stick out of the lake.

Knowing how rare a deep snow is in Northern Virginia, it will be a very long time before I get more pictures like this one!
