After a whirlwind trip home to Saskatchewan as I try to get my life together in one piece, I find my memories still drifting back to home. Back there, in some parts, it seems that Mother Nature can't decide if she wants Saskatchewan to shed it's winter coat. Too be honest, I can't really blame her. The province looks pretty beautiful in that sparkling white coat. So I thought I would share some of my favorite snow filled photos I caught this winter on trips back to the homeland. This winter was an amazing one, & I am so glad I got to take some of that in even though I was far away exploring winter in the Great White North. The tree's sparkled with the hoar frost that clung to the branches of the trees. It made the area look like a beautiful snow globe wonderland. Shadow, & I, got out to enjoy it as much as we could; out at the farm, walking down roads, and even visiting the local regional park that looked like a perfect winter wonderland. The colors were also amazing too boot! There's something truly special about that winter light that washes the world in a pink, & purple, that can't really be found at another time of year. It's truly special the way the snow reflects the light & makes everything look like a water color painting for the briefest of times. So, even though it is frustrating for those who live with it, I understand Mother Nature's dilemma. The beauty of a Prairie winter is truly a miracle to behold. Even though it is so cold you find yourself wondering why you live somewhere where the air hurts your face. I know I have wondered that many times, & then I find myself rushing outside, battling frozen fingers, to just try & capture the gorgeous landscape that is opening up in front of me in those early sunsets. The days are getting longer now, & even though you can feel the winter cold in the wind sometimes the sun's warmth is getting warmer. After my last trip back to Saskatchewan, I know it will be the last I see of a Saskatchewan winter for another few months. I am glad I got to see it once more before it all melted away though. I am not really a lover of winter, but this will be a winter I look back on fondly. It's beautiful mild temperatures, & sparkling snow hanging from the trees, is not something I want to forget.
