Hello NatureScapers:

Two weeks ago, we had the most wonderful snowstorm, and what it made it even more terrific was that it occurred on the weekend! It started snowing on a Saturday night and on Sunday morning I was up to the local rehab place and did wolf, arctic fox, and lynx. I then made a beeline to the local zoo and did Sib Tiger, Camels, Caribou, Prong Horn, etc. Bad weather makes for good photographs in my book..

Anyway, I am in the process of getting caught up with the files and some of the pix onto my website and I finished this one up tonight. I like the new powder flying as the Tiger moves forward.

Thanks for looking and of course any comments or suggestions always appreciated...

Gorgeous shot Dennis. Juli says it appears flawless - from my experience of your work, I would say without hesitation - it most certainly is!!

8) 8) :)

We have only had snow once this Winter - not on a weekend, and it only lasted a day, so no photo opps for us.

Dennis, your work has always been inspirational, this one is no exception.

There are no adequate words to describe this one, so I'll just say awesome :)

What an incredible shot - looks like you took it deep in the heart of Siberia.
