This crazy weather! Mother Nature chose this morning to remind us with a heavy snow shower that she will be the one to decide whether it’s winter or spring.

As winter draws to an end, I find myself missing the few magical days when snow actually fell on our island. I hope it happens again next year.

Here on B.C.’s southern coast we have been having an unusually wintry February. This image of our hilly island landscape was taken during a heavy snow squall.

Well, my pronouncement that spring is on the way appears to have been a tad premature. I awoke to snow this morning! Of course I went out with my camera, and found this little one enjoying a solitary breakfast of ivy berries.
A golden morning, with a thin layer of mist rising off the ocean.
A blustery morning at the point.
These three fir trees grow at the side of the path to the beach, and I’ve passed them many times without taking particular notice. But on this day the soft winter sun seemed to shine on them just right, highlighting the detail in the trunks while drawing out the pastel tones of the woodland foliage.
