Fernie Winter


So you could ski down my front yard right now...I'm thinking it might be a good place for me to start and see if I can remember how to ski. I can honestly say that I have gone a long time without seeing this much snow. In Winnipeg there is a healthy amount of snow and the big problem there are the drifts...Calgary doesn't generally get very much snow during the winter but it gets the wicked cold of Winnipeg as well. Fernie, well, it hasn't gotten as cold as Calgary and Winnipeg generally do but the snow is out of this world.

I've been trying to learn how to take pictures of the snow falling with my camera and I'm getting there.

It looks like I'll have plenty of opportunities for practice while I'm here.

The picture I have here is looking out onto my front yard and you can see by comparing it to the tree that the snow pile is quite significant.



I am liking the winter here so far. The snow adds an unusual element for me but one I'm sure I can get used to. And so I sit here - looking out at the white snow against a dark sky and thinking just how blessed I am to have a home to sit in.
