About ten days ago, I was walking down Elizabeth Street in the city, when I thought I saw a snowman. So I stopped. Blinked. Rubbed my eyes. Looked again. It was still there. And yes, it was most definitely a snowman.
But of course it wasn't real. It wasn't made out of genuine snow. I thought about crossing the street to get a closer look, and then I figured I'd be able to depict it more accurately from where I stood, several metres away on the opposite pavement.
So I shot a couple of frames from where I stood, with the late-afternoon sunlight angled across the board near Frosty's arms. With my zoom lens, I could pick out the words "Snow Report" on the whiteboard, along with the date, Friday 4 September.
And yes, it was more fun taking photographs than being on the ski slopes.

COOL shot David!
September + snowman does not compute. At least not in Florida.
Love his smile tho!
It took me a couple of seconds to remember that you're down under!
helping to cool me off
Snow in September?? Fun photo!!
That was a cute little funny snowman!
Just makes me realise that Christmas is now *round the corner*!
Great belly Frosty!
Very cute snowman. September doesn't quite compute for Utah snow, either. Maybe we'll get a little by November, while you'll be enjoying spring.
He's obviously going by the Julian calendar.... or is that the Gregorian calendar??? I'm confused.
Fun shot, but I could do without the reminder of winter lurking not to far down the road. Summer just finally got nice around here. :)
Lovely shot- I love anything to do with snow, especially when there's a sliver of sun too!
Love that snowman and that you took a shot of him.
Cute little guy. But isn't it spring already? Snow?
