Don't Put Away The Shovel

As we enter March many people suddenly get the impression that Winter is over.  We get a couple of days of warm weather, the snow and ice begin to melt away and people get to go out a few days without needing a scarf or toque.  Then, just when that false sense of security begins to settle in...WAM!  A big snow storm hits, catching everyone by surprise.  It seems to happen every year, and if I'm lucky, it happens on a day off so that I can go out and take some photographs.  Such was the case a few years ago when we got hit with a huge storm near the end of the month.  I lived near Seaway Park at the time and I went out for a nice little walk in knee deep March snow.  I loved it, though the general population wasn't all that pleased at the time.  The photograph was taken at f/9, 1/125sec, ISO 100 at 24mm.  So a little word of warning.  It's true that Winter is on its last legs, but there is always one more big one out there just waiting.
