Picture yourself trudging through a frigid landscape, feeling the sharp bite of the cold air, when suddenly you encounter what appears to be an errant snowball! Upon closer inspection, you realize it’s not just a clump of frozen water—it’s a white grouse! Renowned for his impeccable timing, photographer Jacques Poulard captured this fluffy surprise as it stared back at him, seemingly auditioning for a role in a whimsical winter fairytale.
The expression in those small eyes seems to ask, “You talking to me, human?” Poulard’s photograph serves as a delightful reminder that nature has a playful side, often surprising us in the most amusing ways.
