In the past two weeks it seemed as if spring had returned from the eternal hunting grounds. we have witnessed scenes that were not believed to be seen any time soon, at least not before the end of May. The snow on the roads (more or less because of the amounts of salt that have been sprinkled) was melted and the >5feet snow hills on the side of the road …well seemed like they were planing on melting soon as well. I went out photo shooting last week, as I got a hold of my parents’ car, and got some nice pictures of the Grand River, Kitchener, Ontario, as the water is flowing once again, abundant in matter due to the ice melting. I witnessed heavy fish smell, which was, strangely enough, not dislikeable, and also I got to hear the roaring thunderous sound of large pieces of ice breaking and floating away on the waves. It was majestic, or at least the closest to majestic that my town can get.
The other day however as I awoke (around 3pm local time since I went to sleep late,I mean early, as usual) to some heavy snow fall which by the end of the day covered everything in a fresh and lovely coat of white terribleness. I hope things get better soon, there are two ways that things could get better in this situation:
- the snow melts and spring arrives as promised
- the snow remains but somehow by some miracle (because I do not have a ride available at this time) a friend offers to take me photo shooting somewhere out in nature and I get some more nice snow pictures, which I barely got accustomed to, with overexposing when facing large amounts of snow and such in order for the picture to not end up dark
It would also be lovely if the weather forecast for western B.C. would not end up coming true. As it is right now, they predict rainfall during the week that I will be out there visiting my friend Alyssa. I will pray that at least if it rains, there will be enough breaks in it for me to take out the camera and shoot some nice landscapes. If not, oh well, I’ll still get some priceless shots with Alyssa indoors. I can’t believe I get such amazing of a photographer/model combination (yes I mean Alyssa) all for myself to photograph for a whole week.
