Finally it decided to snow a bit here this winter for this #wednesdaywalk by @tattoodjay
I decided to take a break from watching the baby and go out for a walk while it snowed. The lake is a great place to catch some snow laden trees with fancy houses in the background.
It was a strange snow day as it seemed quite warm. The lake isn't even frozen over but enough snow was falling to stick a bit on the lake house.
This will be my fate in a few months as my baby grows older. This kid was off to the snowy hill where they can sled a bit. Right now my kid is way to little to be bringing out in the snow for walks.
I also went on this walk to find more material for #squirrelsunday but sadly they were all in their nests. I didn't even get to see a shot of a big fluffy tail sticking out of their little leaf houses.
The sparrows were a bit more cooperative as they were gorging on wild rosehips. There's enough of these rose hips to last them all winter but I suspect they get most their food from feeders around the neighborhood.
The dried up thistles catch the snow nicely. I bet there are a bunch of beetle eggs hidden in the dry stalks of these thistles. Poor things have to be frozen until spring hits.
As long as the lake isn't frozen over the Canadian geese are always hanging around. This is quite a mild winter so these guys don't even need to migrate farther south and they have plenty of grass to eat under the snow.
Domesticated dogs are the only thing that will cause the geese to fly away. Sometimes the owners will let their dogs off the leash to scare up a flock of them off the ground. This time there was too much snow for the owners to let them off the leash.
As there wasn't enough squirrel or bird action out in the snow I decided to take photos of the buildings. This old gothic church looks interesting with some white highlights.
Here's a more modern church that has a sort of 70s era style to it.
Now for some really old apartments. I once inquired about renting here and they said they had waterbugs but not roaches. Then I looked up what a waterbug was and they are basically roaches lol.
The guy who owns the Italian restaurant rides this Indian motorcycle to work. I wonder how tough it is to ride in the snow... Fortunately all this snowfall melted the same day and none of it actually stuck on the streets.
That's all for now, thanks for looking hopefully we'll escape the harsh winter this year and just have some easy snows like this until spring arrives.

Thanks @bilgin70 :-)
You're welcome :)
What a great walk in the snow. I was mesmerized by your beautiful pictures most especially the one with a beautiful reflection by the lake. I always dream to walk in a real snow. I have not experienced any snow moments in life since I am from Ph but this is really one of my dreams to travel someday and experience winter, hehe. You are incredible my friend. Have a great Wednesday walk and take care.
Snow is great when it first falls but after that it becomes solid and slippery. I used to live in the desert where there was no snow and it takes a bit of getting used to if you're from a warm environment.
Sucvh a beautiful snowy walk love all the scenes you shared with us
that guy riding his bike in the snow is brave, well not so much the snow but the black ice that often comes with it
Thanks for joining the Wednesday, its always fun for me to visit the walks from all around the world, getting a feel for communities where people live and what they see on their daily walks
Yeah I would rather ride a trike if snow was out.
yeah that would be safer I think
Pretty snow 👍 Glad you were able to get out for a #wednesdaywalk. Looks like the Canadian geese were talking trash about the wimpy American squirrels hiding in their nests lol
They have claimed all the walnuts and acorns on the grounds with their snow spell. Kind of like how the mud wizard that cast a swamp spell.
When I was young, I had the experience of riding my motorcycle in the snow. It was very slippery. Once I even fell and slid along the icy road for 20 meters. It's like they're showing it in some movie. I put the bike in the garage and never rode it again in winter.
To drive in winter, you need a special tire. I doubt this motorcycle has them.
Yikes that sounds like quite the wipeout. The same thing can happen if someone mowes their lawn and grass cuttings are in the road in a thin layer. In winter you need an arctic cat snowmobile.
