This year, winter is practicing hard. I’m not sure whether quite successfully, because even though this was the third time snowing this December, it’s just never really a lot, and doesn’t stick around for long, but we can’t blame winter for not trying. Really. So, after it started snowing again yesterday afternoon (note the timing: it always happens when I have to be at work), I decided to go out early this morning to get a couple of snapshots before all the students decent on it yet once more. And in the end, I actually liked what I saw!

Winter seems to be generous this year. After the first snowy trial run a couple of weeks ago, yesterday, winter bestowed upon us a chilly, wintery layer of snow dust. It wasn’t much, but it was enough to turn things into an “almost” perfect winter wonderland. Unfortunately, I had to work by the time the snow actually started to matter. And by the time I got off work, it was dark already. Still, with my students, I was able to make the most of it, by running outside as soon as the bell would ring, for some pictures. And if nothing else, this short little snow interlude gives wings to my hopes for a more snowy winter this year. We’ll see what is to come …
