The bottom of the hollow is a strange place

The term “uncanny valley” comes to mind. Just saying.

In reply to Lucy. Glad you liked that. By the way, I posted a very short video of that pocupine in the snowstorm on YouTube: here.

In reply to kasturi. I hadn't consciously focused on that as counterpoint, but I think you're right. Glad it works -- thanks.

Never tire of your snow pictures (- or your porcupines!). Such appealing melancholy to hear of the disappeared hamlet and its elderly revenants.

In reply to leslee. I actually find it very hard and a little jarring to think about spring right now -- I threw that in just for you spring-a-holics. :)

In reply to marja-leena. Thanks, M-L! The color balance in my camera is a little off, so I always have to adjust. With the photos here, as you can see, I made no effort to standardize. Each of those shades of blue looked right to me when I was processing that photo. :) Actually, even with my naked eyes, I get a different cast depending on whether I am looking through my left eye (more cyan), my right eye (more red), or both (somewhere in the middle).
