Humpday is the perfect day to go out for a walk with the camera you always have on you. Winter is BACK so what could get me out taking pictures like Wednesday Walk? Championed by our friend @tattoodjay and the Make me Smile Collaboration challenge lead by @elizacheng, this is for everyone.

This week, the wind and the snow blew in midday so I let it get nasty before heading out.

Moar Winter!

I really do enjoy taking pictures of our proud city hall in all kinds of weather. It felt much more blustery than this pic might look and I had to keep autofocusing to the tower as the snow blasted the camera. The lighting in the fog and snow are the best.

Almost looks like art when you zoom in a little closer. No filter needed!

Incoming!

Around noon, the sunny sky covered over with cloud and the temperature plummeted from 13 Celsius to below freezing in less than 2 hours around noon. The wind whipped up and the snow started to blow around, butthis guy still wanted to play and chase snabbits.



It looks like a nice light snow but you could tell it might get nasty.

How 'Bout a Drive?

I will go to the lengths of breaking the law to capture photos of this tundra for my legions of followers. Funny how the camera punches through the blowing snow as there were waves of it that made it hard to see at times.



As rush hour approaches, or whatever version of that there is in this small town, it got windier and I should have stayed home. People to see!



Those people were gathered at the local radio station for the chamber of commerce business after 5 event. The occasion was the 100th anniversary of the station and a great chance to network with other business folks in the community. Grabbing a beer with clients, partners, and the mayor is a good way to spend a snowy hour.

Downtown at Night

Heading downtown from the event, the roads and sidewalks are empty except a reasonable carpet of snow. Lights are on but everyone is safely home. Might as well go for a walk!

Looks like the new burrito place is the only thing open here. 1 hard working soul waiting for the shift to end to drive home in this!



Like a pirate ship emerging through the fog.



Deserted and fun to walk around in when you have a proper hat and gloves!


The court house looks pretty cool in the snow too. They could easily shut off the lights and save electricity but it is nice to light up some of the old buildings for people to enjoy in the quiet season.

Home Sweet Home

Glad to have made it back home to let the weather do what it will overnight. The view from my curation chair is pretty good to end this #wednesdaywalk.

I TOLD you it would snow again!
