A blizzard and a stream
I was walking along a forested stream that runs parallel with the Elbow River where they run under Highway 8 near Discovery Ridge on the western edge of Calgary on Saturday morning. When the snow started to fall, it took very little time for the flakes to grow in both size and frequency.
The trees were soon cloaked in white, leaving the water alone to provide a little colour in the landscape.
It was quiet with only the sound of the snow falling. And a serene walk along this tributary to the Elbow River among the trees that edge its length.
Near the end of the walk, a raven flew overhead – the snow visible between us.

The raven photo has so many possibilities even as a background. It’s one of my favorites !

That shot of the raven is archetypal – a dramatic & powerful image. Another beautiful sequence that is full of wonder & mystery. 🙂

I love seeing the falling snow , and like the slower shutter speed in the second last photo.

Wow! To be able to capture the glory of creation in this way is truly a gift. I am so glad you share your gift so freely. This post was profoundly poetic and the pictures said everything. Thanks!
