And just as quickly as spring appears, it recedes into the background and grey skies and snow take center stage. I know the spring weather fluctuations should be viewed in a sort of zen appreciation of nature and change as opposed to disappointment and dreams of one-way tickets to Cancun.
So on this March day, which began with me scraping ice off my windshield, I would like to reflect on the beauty of cold.
Attached are some recent pictures taken two weeks ago at Barrier Lake in Kananaskis, Alberta. This area of south-western Alberta is known for its groomed cross country skiing trails, downhill skinning and hiking. Though the day was overcast, windy and bitter cold, there was a distinct beauty to it - just as I am sure there must be beauty in ice on a windshield, if only we stop to look for it.
