Finally snow has fallen on Vancouver and area. It’s about 3 weeks too late to be considered
“magical” in my opinion (as I've already mentioned on facebook)… but I’m still
grateful for every snowflake. I’ve been
waiting for what seems like months for an actual feeling of winter to finally
arrive. The extended fall weather was
just making everything wet and brown, despite that this has been a pretty dry
winter for the lower mainland (very little rain at all in the month of
December).
Maybe it’s just nostalgia for the snow heavy winter
months of my youth in the prairies that’s making me want to see more, maybe it’s
a desire to run out and make snow angels and have a snow ball fight, maybe it’s
just nice to see the fresh clean blanket of snow instead of the wet, brown
gardens… this first snowfall is very
welcome in my life.
I made a quick video of a stroll in the area this
morning. Not my best work, but I played
with some sepia tones, tried to give it an old-timey feel (so I apologize for
unintentional blurriness… but some of it was intentional nonetheless). And of course I set it to Carnival of the
Animals’ “The Swan” by Saint-Saens.
Enjoy
