Sunday Snapshot

I'm ready for the coming of Spring. This winter has been long and cold, and I am looking forward to sunnier warmer temps. 

And Daylight Savings, just two and a half weeks away. Longer days, lighter evenings.

Sunday Snapshots

Do these pictures look as cold as it was when they were taken? It snowed tiny little flakes all day yesterday and this is what accumulated from the snowfall. The snow is powdery and light, and did I mention cold!! 

 

You can't make a snowball out of it to throw.

 

When you walk in it, the footsteps make a crunching sound.

 

It just compacts it down when you drive on it. And if you spun your wheels enough you could make a thin layer of ice.

 

This is our favorite park to visit in Medicine Hat. To get down to it you have to go down a steep winding long hill, with a drop off if you were so inclined to slide over the side on your way down. 

 

You can see it is quite deserted out here because most people are too scared or is that too smart to attempt the hill down and then back up again! 

 

The Sand cliffs across the water from Echodale park. The geese flying over the river.

 

One thing about snow on a sunny day, its so bright it almost hurts to really open your eyes.

 

Love the shadows.

 

The temperature today is -8Celcius, in other words Cold!

 

I think these winter pics of Echodale are just one example of What a Wonderful World it is we live in!!

A Scavenger Hunt

Shadow Shot Sunday

Watching

Meet Molly, my sister's Maltese dog. She is constantly watching me, I think wanting to be picked up!

 

Leafy

We spent the day at Echodale, shuffling through the leaves that have fallen. It's one of my favorite things to do in the Fall. When we lived in BC it was very hard to do that as it rained all the time, the leaves were wet and soggy all the time. Here they are dry and crisp and so fun to shuffle through!

 

First World Problem

The problem here is the car parked in the parking area somehow made itself invisible when I took this photo. Somehow the rule of checking out the background for annoying things that ruin your otherwise perfect shot didn't happen this time!

 

Mellow Yellow Monday 

Still

And peaceful, Love visiting this Park. It is always different and always the same. If you know what I mean!

 

I love this shot of the shadows falling gently over the leafy carpet. 

Blue Monday 

Just waiting for picnic time.

A Good Day

A great day is shuffling through crisp crunching leaves, throwing handfuls of dry leaves into the breeze and watching them fly through the air! A good day is going for a walk along paths by the lake, seeing the gorgeous yellows, oranges and reds of colour, feeling the breeze through your hair, visiting with family while walking. 

 

Everyday is a good day, you could say the best day of my life, it is what I have right this moment, the only day and its the best!!
