I want a 2nd opinion!
It snowed here yesterday and I went out and took some pictures, some of which may end up in my Black and White project. While I was out there in the cold fumbling around trying to push the shutter and other buttons with gloves on, it occured to me that #64 on my task list is "Play in the snow". I went inside and told my loving children that even though it wasn't what I had in mind when I made the list, I think I played in the snow nonetheless. They emphatically disagreed. They say, "If there's no snowman, no snowball fight, no snow angels and/or no going 40 mph down a steep hill with a plastic sled under your butt, it doesn't count." I say, "I got cold, I got wet, I had fun, and there was snow on the ground, it could count... Maybe"
Here are some of the pictures I took http://carpediem.photosite.com/2ndOpinion/
What do you think? Is it "Playing"?

As Barbara says, "That is as close to playing in the snow as I want to get at my age!" . So I would have to say it is an age specific definition that you should seek.

I decided not to mark #64 off my list. But my loving children better grow eyes in the back of their heads the first time the snow flies again. They are definately deserving of a snowball fight. Ha Ha.
Hey! I vote with you Jeri. It looks like it meets the criteria of "Play in the snow". You weren't "Working" in the snow, or "Sleeping" in the snow, or "Watching" it snow. I'd mark it off, unless of course you like having the kids lookin' over their shoulders for snowballs heading their way! LOL. Those are some really cool pictures. They are great subjects for black and white too. You know like Tulips are all about the color, but these are nice.
I couldn't see your photo site but my vote is a resounding "YES!" You were playing, creation is totally playing otherwise we wouldn't do it!
Thanks for your votes. I still think I was playing, too, but I decided a snowball fight with my kids sounded pretty fun. I even rewrote #64 to remind me that they have it coming.
Sorry, I deleted to link to the pictures, but several of the pictures will be in my Black and White photo project - coming soon.
