Portrait of a Miniature Snowman
This is a photo I took on Christmas Day. I was walking down Canyon Road, scene of the famous Christmas Eve Farolito Walk, and all those small farolito bags were still out and about. I came to one with the cutest little snowman next to it, and so I composed this photo with the bag beside him.
A photo like this just seems classic for the day after the Farolito Walk in Santa Fe. Way to go, little man. (:
Shot with my 105mm macro lens at f/3.0.

He is cute!
I think so too. 🙂
Cute photo, Katie. 🙂
Thanks, Bob!
This is really cute!
Thanks so much, Karen, and thanks too for visiting my blog! 🙂
It seems to welcome the sun with both arms, though the warmth will soon rise to its little head. But then it will become part of nature again, nothing is lost 🙂
Beautiful contrast with the brown of the bag and the dark chocolate of the ground/wall. I love the touch of green of the twig.
looks like he is fighting the sun rays- that will soon melt him away…
Yeah, I imagine he melted on Sunday too. Sad to think. 🙂 Thanks for your comment, Amber!
Lol! Nice 🙂
Thanks, Eden!
This sounds like it is a beautiful walk!
More fun than beautiful, but I like it all the same. 🙂
Oooh, that reminds me of the snow people I made one year! 😀 Too bad we don’t have snow yet 😦 But I like this picture 😀
Ah, glad you made snow people, Jenna! How fun! 🙂
Sweet!
Thanks, Adrienne!
That’s really cute!
Thanks, Ant!
Another little gem 😉
Ah, thank you. 🙂
That sounds so refreshing, Katie. I really liked this tiny snowman. And really cute too. 🙂
Thank you, Nandini!
Bit rude.
I’m sorry, but I really don’t understand your comment. Can you please explain what you think is rude? Thank you.
cute idea…. one of the 100 tiny little snowmen running up and down your spine after eating a peppermint patty? LOL Made me think of that old commercial… 😉
LOL! Glad it brought back that memory! 🙂
Very cool!! I’ve never seen a miniature snowman.
Thanks, Shannon! 🙂
That must be a last-minute portrait! 😉
LOL! Probably was. 🙂
Is he miniature cause he’s melting? he he.
LOL! He was getting smaller and smaller. 🙂
Someone has stolen his eyes!!
I know! 🙂
Wonderfull shot Katie! But where is his hut and where are his eyes 🙂
Maybe he uses the paper bag as a hut? 🙂 This was a profile shot of him, but still, I do think his eyes were already gone. Thanks for your comment, Xandi! 🙂
I just love your snow photos 🙂 so many things can be done and created and you are being able to explore many of them 🙂
Ah, thanks, Filipe! 🙂
That snowman is so adorable! I love the composition and light in this shot. Love it!
Thanks, Jenna! I really like how the light is in this too. Thanks so much for noticing it! 🙂
Love it! I once saved a similar one in my freezer for years.
Ah, how fun to have a little snowman in your freezer! 🙂
Love the composition – such a fun shot and so cute
Thanks, Victoria! 🙂
Adorable!
Thank you so much! 🙂
A tiny bit of snow left 🙂 Very sweet
Thanks, Cin!
This is so cute! Nice shot, Katie!
Ah, thank you! 🙂
Hahaha…
he looks like quite a trooper (braving the warm sunlight like that)…
hang in there, little guy!
🙂
LOL! Love your comment! 🙂
I wish he could last longer …poor thing melting! You “caught” it right on time! Also looks like a bird proudly looking up!
Ah, yeah, I feel kind of sorry for him, but I love that he was so cute. 🙂 Thanks for the comment, Marina!
Awww little snowman 🙂 Great image 🙂 I hope it didn’t melt too fast 🙂
Me too! 🙂
This is very sweet 🙂
Ah, thank you so much. 🙂
sweet image and kind of sad. we woke up to -20 Celsius this morning, nothing is melting here!
Ooh, cold! I hope it warms up for you, Karen!
He’s like a little snowy meerkat! 🙂 Nice capture!
Ah, I like that! Thanks, Susie! 🙂
How lovely and beautiful… You are one of my amazing photographers… Thank you dear Katie, Happy New Year, with my love, nia
Ah, thank you so much, Nia! 🙂
Cute little guy. Did someone make him or he just happened to be there by itself?
Someone did make him. 🙂 It was so cute when I saw him too. 🙂
Looks like you got even less snow than we did. Our snowgirl was at least twice as big. I assume the farolitos are normal sized lunch bags?
Yep, the bag is lunch size bag. The snow melted a few days before, and of course, they cleaned the sidewalks. Here in Santa Fe, at 7,000 feet, it’s sunny, so the sun cleans things off to. That’s why it was so sweet to see this little man.
I guess all I’m saying is that before your photo, our snowgirl, who herself would fit comfortably inside the farolito bag, was the smallest snow person I had ever seen… 🙂
It is a really nice photo — I forgot to mention that before…
Ah, I love the small snow people, Zorgor. 🙂 Glad you liked the photo too. 🙂
A cute snowman indeed, hopefully he held onto life for as long as he could!
I know there is a bit of sadness with him melting. Thanks for your comment, Mufidah!
Now that is fabulous! I love the layers and the lighting, the subjects….this photo is full of fantastic!
Ah, thanks, Charleen!
Aww,cute!
Thank you, Rebecca! 🙂
One of my favourites here … You give opportunity to see lots of great photographs, Katie. Thanks!
Ah, thank you. Glad you like this little snowman. I really like this picture. Thanks too for visiting my blog. 🙂
