In a snowy town
At 7:00 in the morning it started snowing. Very few people could see it begin, but the flakes did not stop and in a few minutes gardens, streets, traffic lights, everything in town was covered in a white coat. from the window it looked smooth, silent, even cozy.
It invited to laziness and dreaming.
City life gets rounded. Irregular forms become hidden, motions and noises get wrapped in the wet cold blanket.
Branches and bushes are soon loaded with a weigh they did not expect. Green is not seen any longer to leave a blinding whiteness swallow all the colours.
The mystery of mist together with the paths artifitially made for people to keep on moving produce a slow rythm both for humans and animals.
Snowfalls bring wealth in beauty and water supplies. But beware the snow, it can also be dangerous.

We had no snow (except a few minutes) this tear, so far. And it's unusual here, as we usually have it around November 1st. The photos are beautiful and the snow looks like a return to normality, to real winter, to simple things.
I see people are wearing umbrellas. I never do- I like the snowflakes on my face. It's unlike me, but I almost miss snow. Les neiges d'antan...:)
