And it's raining again, since yesterday. Most of the snow on trees and slopes is gone, but the high piles, some several metres deep, shovelled out of the way are staying put. Down on the street, taking out the trash for the morning collection, I slipped on ice, sank my shoe in running ice water, pounded the recycling bin into a snow base, wrestled a tipped bin off the lane open (sort of) for traffic, and took the safer way back, wading calf-deep through the edge of the piled snow. We are so lucky, a Vancouver Sun article years ago reminded us; with our weather, even taking out the trash is an adventure!
But two days ago, we had blue and white skies.
Sky over Baikie Island slough |
Catching my breath after plowing through new snow, I leaned on a stump and looked up. |

Pero hace apenas dos dias, el cielo estaba limpio, azul y blanco.

Your sky photos are lovely, and your garbage trials make me appreciate only getting a little snow in my shoes when I took ours out yesterday. Winter can be very lovely but it's hard on the feet.
ReplyDeleteWow, such beautiful blue skies with the thin white clouds.
