Pose is simply smashing! Tail way up and a head throw look back at you while resting on the only spot of snow around! I love it.

That's very different- I've always seen them on rocks, sand or ice- never near vegetation like this. Great pose

Since this is from Long Island, I've just got to wonder if one of the local mob families followed through with the well known threat, "to put him on ice."

(OK, bad humor, but I couldn't pass it up.)

Jimmy, I love this! The warm tones in the vegetation work well with the snow and background water. The turned back head almost looks flirtatious - perfect for Valentine's Day!
