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.
Keep scrolling for more pics and videos from our snowy day. For more photos and videos of my travels, you’re welcome to follow me on Instagram ( https://www.instagram.com/exceptional_ea/ ) and on “Travels With Shelagh” on YouTube ( https://www.youtube.com/@WalkingWithShelagh ) .
