Really neat perspective in this shot. The kids look like they're being swallowed by the snow.

Michael Skorulski from Cigel, Slovakia
Great composition, Lorraine. The kids are really bundled up against the cold. I like the falling snow which features in many of your shots. Excellent.

Judy from Brooksville-Florida,, United States
Good capture, Lorraine - I love the colors of the kids' clothing against all the white, and of course the snow in the air too!

@Judy: The white background sure helps Judy, that's one good thing I can say about it lol thanks ;)
Viewfinder from Bradenton, United States
Great photo Lorraine. When I was a little kid, our readers were published by a company that obviously had dealings in lots of more northern states (where there was snow). And so as the seasons would progress in the reader, there were stories in them about the kids and snow and all the fun it was. I used to try to picture in my mind's eye what that might look like while they were at school. Even thought these are obviously mostly older kids and teens, now you've given me a real image. Thanks!

@Viewfinder: Isn't that interesting, thanks so much VF ;)
@Eleftheria, 9 years old,: We get a lot of snow E9, thanks a lot :)
amy from Rocky Mountain House, Canada
Love this pov, Lorrain!! Excellent "happy" winter scene! Makes me think of my days in Whitecourt, AB, when I was a kid. Always had tons of snow (including 6ft snow drifts). Good times!

@amy: Amy yes and isn't it funny how snow feels under the tires lol still I always welcome winter, I'm just a little tired of the immmenssenesssss of it :)

Barbara from Florida, United States
Very nice angle Lorraine. It looks like you may be on the roof taking this one.
The snow falling and amount of snow with the colorful clothing makes for a wonderful image.
