Colour in a world of white - a photo on Flickriver

            Just had to get out of the house for a short while yesterday afternoon, so drove a few of the backroads south of the city, south of Highway 22X.  We had an amazing hoar frost yesterday and the day before, but the sky was so dull and so little light, which made taking photographs difficult.  Came across two of these beautiful horses on my way home.  A strange feeling - almost like looking at something that has used Colour Select : )  I soon discovered that the roads were becoming slippery.  Also found out, after plunging up to my knees in the white stuff, that the snow in the ditches that had looked pretty solid was in fact still soft beneath the upper crust!  So much for getting to the barbed wire fences to take a few close-ups : )  Today, the weather is even worse, and it is treacherous underfoot.  Snowing quite heavily.
