Some snowman makers got creative with the hair. Others just went for one 'wow' factor. This one was half-way up a tree. This one just made me smile. The makers of this snowman may have had some issues. It must have taken ages to button this one up... But the eyes say it all. Alien snowmen? Not quite sure what's going on here. But this one definitely has attitude. This lot just didn't know when to stop. I could say the same for this snowchap. Others just didn't get the snowman concept. Whilst some took inspiration from Tony Hart. It was getting dark by the time we dragged ourselves away. Stokey looked magical. Which is just as well, because some people weren't going anywhere. http://overlandtraveller.wordpress.com/2010/07/01/the-eco-impact-of-brazil-to-canada-overland-and-the-knock-on-effect-on-me-part-1/ http://overlandtraveller.wordpress.com/2010/07/01/the-eco-impact-of-brazil-to-canada-overland-and-the-knock-on-effect-on-me-part-1/#comments Thu, 01 Jul 2010 19:02:35 +0000 Emma http://overlandtraveller.wordpress.com/?p=478 ]]> http://overlandtraveller.wordpress.com/2010/07/01/the-eco-impact-of-brazil-to-canada-overland-and-the-knock-on-effect-on-me-part-1/feed/ 0 Inner debate on The Canadian © Craig Fast overlandtraveller http://overlandtraveller.wordpress.com/2010/06/22/brazil-to-canada-overland-check/ http://overlandtraveller.wordpress.com/2010/06/22/brazil-to-canada-overland-check/#comments Tue, 22 Jun 2010 12:44:37 +0000 Emma http://overlandtraveller.wordpress.com/?p=449 ]]> http://overlandtraveller.wordpress.com/2010/06/22/brazil-to-canada-overland-check/feed/ 6 Gray whale approaching tourists in Baja © Craig Fast overlandtraveller South American road © Craig Fast Horseriding in Mazanillo, Costa Rica © Craig Fast http://overlandtraveller.wordpress.com/2010/05/28/elton-john-and-the-bison-ballerina/ http://overlandtraveller.wordpress.com/2010/05/28/elton-john-and-the-bison-ballerina/#comments Fri, 28 May 2010 20:05:19 +0000 Emma http://overlandtraveller.wordpress.com/?p=375 Read more]]> http://overlandtraveller.wordpress.com/2010/05/28/elton-john-and-the-bison-ballerina/feed/ 0 Bison approaching, Riding Mountain National Park, Manitoba, Canada © Craig Fast overlandtraveller Bison about to pirouette, close to our car © Craig Fast http://overlandtraveller.wordpress.com/2010/05/10/the-pros-and-cons-of-a-youthful-appearance-when-travelling/ http://overlandtraveller.wordpress.com/2010/05/10/the-pros-and-cons-of-a-youthful-appearance-when-travelling/#comments Mon, 10 May 2010 16:27:40 +0000 Emma http://overlandtraveller.wordpress.com/?p=322 ]]> http://overlandtraveller.wordpress.com/2010/05/10/the-pros-and-cons-of-a-youthful-appearance-when-travelling/feed/ 4 overlandtraveller Retro Park car of The Canadian http://overlandtraveller.wordpress.com/2010/04/25/if-only%e2%80%a6us-border-guards-swapped-jobs-with-park-rangers/ http://overlandtraveller.wordpress.com/2010/04/25/if-only%e2%80%a6us-border-guards-swapped-jobs-with-park-rangers/#comments Sun, 25 Apr 2010 04:05:25 +0000 Emma http://overlandtraveller.wordpress.com/?p=313 ]]> http://overlandtraveller.wordpress.com/2010/04/25/if-only%e2%80%a6us-border-guards-swapped-jobs-with-park-rangers/feed/ 0 IMG_1293_edited-1 overlandtraveller Yosemite waterfall, framed © Craig Fast http://overlandtraveller.wordpress.com/2010/04/06/travel-hair-trauma/ http://overlandtraveller.wordpress.com/2010/04/06/travel-hair-trauma/#comments Tue, 06 Apr 2010 17:11:29 +0000 Emma http://overlandtraveller.wordpress.com/?p=306 Read more]]> http://overlandtraveller.wordpress.com/2010/04/06/travel-hair-trauma/feed/ 0 Bad hair overlandtraveller http://overlandtraveller.wordpress.com/2010/03/19/sometimes-the-hardest-thing-about-travelling-is-other-travellers%e2%80%a6/ http://overlandtraveller.wordpress.com/2010/03/19/sometimes-the-hardest-thing-about-travelling-is-other-travellers%e2%80%a6/#comments Fri, 19 Mar 2010 11:47:51 +0000 Emma http://overlandtraveller.wordpress.com/?p=242 ]]> http://overlandtraveller.wordpress.com/2010/03/19/sometimes-the-hardest-thing-about-travelling-is-other-travellers%e2%80%a6/feed/ 1 Emma's overlandtraveller Other traveller-induced irritation Art Garfunkel, who did NOT write most of Simon and Garfunkel's hits.
