Thursday, February 8th, 2018 —> -5˚C / +23˚F – with bright sunshine on our new foot of snow @ 11:30 am in Atlantic Canada —

Snow blown driveway and blue sky with clouds and brilliant sunlight.

– “Snow-Blown Driveway” – 11:30 am February 8tt, 2018 – With Van, Blue Sky + Some Clouds + Brilliant Sunlight –

— The sunlight was – possibly – too brilliant – I couldn’t see enough in the view-finder to know how level the photo might be – or know a lot of things that are crucial to ‘real  photographers’ — { Schnarr – }

— I tried to stay awake too long to get a jump on clearing the snow earlier, but the great big dump trucks plowing snow were experiencing troubles as they attempted their first clearing of Canada Street ( out of the photo, off to the left and a bit down hill ) – leaving about a five feet tall ridge of plowed snow when they could get up to speed. And that was something like 4:30 am – before the snow had stopped falling enough to say so.

Driveway with snow hills.

– Firewood under tarp { Pile slowly shrinking as we find time to get the wood out of the driveway and into the wood shed } in foreground – And Two good sized Snow Mountain Peaks back closer to the porch with a bit of the canyon leading to the deer hill between the peaks. –

— When the snow began falling yesterday afternoon – it didn’t look like much. I thought maybe they’d over-estimated our potential accumulation again. Nope – Luckily it was lightweight fluffy dry stuff and I didn’t drop dead from clearing the way to the shed where the snow blower lives ( After Cathi cleared the way once last evening ) –

Canyon toward Deer Hill.

– Closer to the Canyon –

— Being partially snow blinded { when trying to see the view-finder } had some interesting side effects – I couldn’t see the little bit of colourful lens flare to the right.

Close up on the van& snowy world beyond.

– & This was another happy surprise – The reflections on the van –

— This time yesterday I was thinkin that becoming a ‘snow bird’ & spending winters in bug-infested alligator-rich Florida might not be a bad idea. Today? It’s cold and beautiful up here. & A higher percentage of Atlantic Canadians are really nice people than most of the adults I remember surrounding me while I ‘grew up’ in the good old USA –

— Sigh — Have a nice day — Have a nice life?,
