 When I awoke Monday to an unexpected snowfall this idea hit me and I HAD to try it. Unfortunately it remained a grey day so the light sucked and the limited workspace didn't allow much leeway for adding any (I don't have a flash YET).
Also working with a new monitor (lcd vs my old crt) and its calibration software is giving me no end of headaches, so I kept running back and forth between mine and Becky's to check. I don't know which is more accurate, but I'm sure comments will let me know!
As long as a few get a chuckle, that's enough for me :)

eta; yes, I wanted to add more, such as a drink with a little umbrella, but I couldn't get one set in there without messing up the snow :( As it was I had to pretty much toss the lotion and glasses then use a broom handle to shift them a bit.

Wow you still have all that snow? That sucks... even here in Chicago it's all melted at least...

Composition is simple, could be a bit stronger. Feels like it's missing something... umbrella maybe?... some other compositional elements to make it stand out more.
