Walking in a Winter Wonderland

I think this little one was hoping I was bringing food. Brrr. Poor little thing.

So, who is it that keeps talking about global warming anyway? I'm thinking that person should really double check their data, or at least review the definition of "global". -5 here yesterday, -8 today (that's 23 and 17 respectively for my American friends).

I'm not complaining, I love the snow - it reminds me of the carefree days of my childhood in Salmon Arm. Its the one thing I really miss about winter now that I live in Vancouver. Thankfully, I fell awkwardly into the end boards at hockey Sunday night, so the most exercise my knee could handle was a leisurely stroll through the woods on my lunch break yesterday.

Although colder today, the sun is shining brightly, and that makes the North Shore mountains look utterly spectacular. Despite the cold, my drive in this morning across the Second Narrows bridge was nothing short of awe-inspiring. Pure white mountains surrounded by the bluest sky. I wished I had my camera.

I didn't bring it to work with me today though, so you are left with my photos from my walk yesterday. Its just so peaceful out here. The city noise is deadened, and the hotheads are cooled off. People seem to be friendlier and more patient with this weather around them. I love it.
