iN PHOTOS: Animals making the best of a snowy situation in Kamloops, Okanagan

Photographers have been busy snapping images of wildlife and horses out on the winter landscapes in forests and neighbourhoods across Kamloops and the Okanagan.

The snow has added a whimsical backdrop to the photos.

iNFOnews.ca shared some of the awesome images captured by area photographers earlier in the week and asked for your submissions.

With so many people sharing their quality photos we decided to put together another edition that includes birds in Lumby to rabbits in Logan Lake and horses in Pritchard.

If you have winter photos you'd like to share send them in an email to news@infonews.ca.
