First off, I have missed my blog! Things happen, time used elsewhere, etc., etc. No excuses, just facts. Second, the photo challenge “Object” features a really cool phenomenon with snow that I have never seen before! Snow Rollers! The conditions need to be just right. Loose snow on top of a harder layer of snow and enough wind to get the ball rolling (haha)! At first when I saw them, I thought it was something the birds had done, or kids, but there were no footprints. Then, everyone said they were talking about them on the news! Well, I have NEVER seen them. And I even lived in Buffalo and Minnesota. So, I am pleased to show you the magnificent snow rollers. You can pick them up, they are light, but don’t fall apart. Too cool. I didn’t see them actually rolling. But you can see their paths. More blog catch-up tomorrow! I am tired after my big 2 hours of shoveling heavy, ice covered, snow today. I should sleep well.

Stunning photographs.
Thank you!
That is strange! Thanks for sharing your photos, I have never seen this phenomenon either. A new definition of Arctic Roll 😉
Ha, indeed. And makes me want to eat one of those cakes that are rolled up…
Look like Hay Rolls in a farm field!
They do! So funny!
an eye catcher!!!
Ha, yes! Very much so! Thank you!
