Humpday is the perfect day to go out for a walk with the camera you always have on you! That's what you get for the Wednesday Walk challenge championed by our friend @tattoodjay and the Make me Smile Collaboration challenge lead by @elizacheng.
This Weds, I was calling for snow and mother nature answered.

Good Morning!
This is the view from my curation chair this morning. The first snow is always a big of a shock after six months of none. If I enjoy it, I bet followers in places where it never snows might as well.

Only a couple manageable inches when it is time to start the day and get the people where they need to be. Coming down nicely though and it will take no time to pile up the 6 inches they are calling for today.

If you are not in a hurry and don't have far to go, not a bad morning for a little in-town drive. Branches and street signs holding their snow.

the snowman family on the far right corner showed up a week ago and are now in their native habitat. The plows have been on some roads and a little 4-wheel drive snow tires drifting is in order.

The day has been more drive and hibernate than walk so I better get rolling.

Walk Time
I wonder if the little guy remembers snow from last winter or whether it is all new. Either way, he is greeted at the gate by an equally excited pooch and they flounce tirelessly through the snow.

They wrestle right on through the gate to take it to the trails in the woods. Between the adrenaline and numbing cold of the snow, he doesn't even seem to notice his sore foot.
Every time I visit the park, I take a picture from this spot. I need a thaw and a little frost followed by another good snowing to properly complete the 4 season animated gif I will melt them into.

There are splashes of colour on the white blanket that covers everything today. These high bush cranberries wear a puffy white hat and will probably be food for the birds who stay for the winter.

Nice to see others out taking advantage of the fresh snow with their 4-legged friends. Such a joyous place with fresh air, plenty of space and likeminded people who are often chatty. I can think of worse places to be.

The battle is not yet over. It has simply levelled up to 3 energetic pups. Both of these have poodle in them and they apparently enjoy the snow and wrestling as much as my boy. The more they frolic, the more tired and peaceful he is later on that night. Definitely worth the time investment.

By the time we are on our way, he is covered with snow and doesn't even seem to notice. Good thing too as winter lasts a few months and enjoying the cold will make for some pretty fun days this winter.

On the way back home, he flops on his seat cover and picks all of the snowballs from his fur. The sun has gone down on a nice snowy Wednesday that brought a few smiles.

Look at those black, gray and white landscapes. Just gorgeous. I know most people will love some other weather than this one, but let me enjoy this beauties! Brilliant, @zekepickleman
It didn't feel so great when it came time to shovel the driveway but that's just Canadian white people problems! ;) We may grow tired of it by the end of Feb but I really enjoy the snow in December.
Hahahaahahahahahahaaha. Trust me on this one, friend, your comment is really funny. Just enjoy the beauties from nature.
We have had a few flurries but nothing has settled here yet
a lovely winter walk
Thanks for joining the Wednesday Walk :)
Wednesday is the highlight of my week here lately. Thanks so much for motivating us and tying us together.
thanks for saying that , keeps me motivated
Snow came early this year it seems. You got a lot. We only got a little so far.
Ya it was literally the perfect storm. Most likely will be melted by the weekend again but a nice snowy foreshadowing for the winter.
Yeah ours has melted already. Might be a bad winter if we are getting it already
Beautiful shots man! We are likely going to be getting some of the white stuff soon! Certainly going to make a snowman lol
Damn right! ‘Tis the season for snow people and fun in the snow!
I love snow! By the looks of it, we'll have quite a bit less this year than normal, so it's fun to see your winter wonderland shots. The pictures of the dogs running and playing are so joyful! And the cranberries are incredible too. I had never heard of high bush cranberries. They're really pretty.
Happy Wednesday Walk!
Yea some people choose to not like winter and complain about snow. That means the same amount of winter and just less happiness!
Just love the red of fall and the white of winter coming together.
If you were calling for summer instead, would you get it either? ;)
Anyway, I love snowy landscape, as long as it is outside the city :)
If I was calling for summer, I probably still would have gotten snow. Maybe it is time to sample some winter ales now!
Oh, I am so looking forward to the special Christmas brews :)) They are usually strong lagers here with 6% about ABV, though. Surprisingly, we tend to call them after women, especially the dark ones ;)
Your dog looks so cute man! I don't understand how they are cold in this snow. I wanted to put on a jacket when I saw the photo haha.
Ya it makes no sense. Of course he would be distracted by excitement when he first gets there but he never seems to mind. Chasing the other dogs, running with his mouth down to scoop up snow, even jumping in the freezing stream every time.
Not a brain in his head it seems but man he has fun every time.
Your view is really chill man
So much snows looking good
I love your view!
This is really a beautiful shot I must confess. Looking so awesome 😎. But thr snow must have really been much thkug
Nothing quite like happy doggies just enjoying everything. I wish I could adopt the mentality of a dog and just be so damned excited about doing almost anything.
On that note I haven't seen snow in a decade outside of pictures on the internet. My experience with it was also quite brief because I was visiting my sister in NYC. Therefore, all the snow was that lovely sludge that is mixed with the filth of the streets. so picturesque.
