Dave Rothstein passed away on Nov 11th, and I'm still bummed out.

Artists from around the globe are in Stillwater this week for the World Snow Sculpting Championship. Twelve teams from eight countries are chiseling their designs out of 10-foot-tall blocks of snow along the St. Croix River in downtown Stillwater. This year’s event will feature several animals and a couple of abstract designs. https://www.mprnews.org/story/2024/01/19/teams-turning-blocks-of-snow-into-works-of-art-in-downtown-stillwater

I’m looking forward to seeing the National #SnowSculpting Championship works at #LakeGeneva #Wisconsin next weekend. https://www.visitlakegeneva.com/winterfest/teams/

I last went in 2019 but after judging with a bit of warm weather. Not all of the sculptures survived well, but I think a crumbling sculpture really captured a mood.

I do like taking snow critter pics.

As the second photo shows, I did remove some snow to make the big bullying beast on top of my wind-breaker hedge stand out more.
I made no changes at all to the cute little fellow halfway up the right side of the hedge. He is exactly as I first saw him.
(I did use a stick to give the big lizard-y brute an eye.)

(You know the drill; if you like this, please boost, so others have the chance to see this.)
