[QUOTE="snaphappy, post: 262187, member: 12198"] Thanx wthorson, I got the idea from someone else's 365 when the east was getting hit with cold. I got a reminder a couple days ago by someone else so visited the dollar store. I got some of the cheap food colour and 12'' helium quality balloons. I half filled the balloons so about 1.5 to 2liters of water, nice sized ice balls without over burdening the balloons. We're on well and add water softener salt so it may have made a difference in the freezing cracking IDK. I need a science teacher to explain what I did wrong :) The little snow bank I placed them on is about 30cms (12") high. I crouched down and moved around until I got a shape and lighting I liked. I much preferred the look with the sun behind me but I could not make the placement work at all. With kids and animals there is very few places without footprints or markings :) Seeing nothing but white out my window for 6mnths gets boring so now I have some colour in my front yard. Its warming up this week and we're in for more snow so we'll see how much they shrink in the next few weeks [/QUOTE]
