Crosschecking

I might have something more to post about Sue's birthday, but for today, I will post our latest sign photos. You all know the drill. A resident changes her sign several times a year, and Sue comes up with a way of using them in a photo op.

The current theme is hockey, for the town entered a cross-Canada competition called Hockeyville. We borrowed some of JJ's team sweaters, and posed.

We were forced to use a unique angle that hid some very bright reflections off the poster. I think it makes the composition more interesting, or at least a change.


In this ↓ photo, we assume the crosschecking position, which can result in a two-minute penalty if consumated on the back of an opponent.

You can see old, dirty snow in both photos. More snow fell yesterday, but it won't stick for long. Indeed, it was melting almost as fast as it fell. Almost: not quite though.

Always look forward to your photos by this ever changing sign as they are creatively done and just plain fun to see. Glad the snow is melting away and hope that pattern continues.

Great poses and outfits for the sign. Oh sigh, the March ugly melting snow. Let's see, is there anything good about it? Maybe that it will be gone sooner or later!

Tough team.

I am impressed both with the angle, dodging the snow, and the fact that you conned JJ into parting with his hockey sweaters.
You do have fun. And I hope the birthday girl was well feted. Sending belated best wishes.

Of course, those pics make you eligible for the grandson's hockey booster club, or for free tickets to your regional team, eh? Linda in Kansas
