Snow
A thought for your day, featuring photography from my travels. This shot, and the subsequent videos and images: It was bound to happen before spring arrives, and we did have our first snowfall of the season in Vancouver yesterday. It’s also snowing again today, and this is a big deal in our city.
While the skies were grey, it was wonderful hearing the crunch that came with walking in this snow. I once again had lucky timing since, as you’ll see in the first video below, a group of ducks came flying right in my line of vision while I was recording that moment in nature. While you’ll see the ducks on your screen, they show up even more beautifully playing this on a tv screen.

While many have perceptions of Canada as a year-round winter wonderland, that’s not the case throughout our country. Here in Vancouver, snow on the mountains is not uncommon in the winter months. Last weekend, many Vancouverites – such as the…

Popping up to one of the North Shore Mountains with camera and gear in hand this morning, a look at my card reminded me of some shots I took following the one snowfall we’ve had in the city this season….

Those who’ve not been to Canada may be forgiven for thinking we have mounds of snow such as this at our doorsteps. Well, that may be true during some months, in some regions and provinces, but not so in Vancouver,…
