Hi! Ho! Hi! Ho! I'am walking in the snow!

Hi! Ho! Hi! Ho! I'am walking in the snow!
Today, it is going to snow.  The sky is cloudy, kind of white-grey color, snow is white, daylight is white, so very bad conditions for good pictures!  But anyway, I took some to illustrate the joy of walking in the mountain just beside the house.  Here is the main track going to the top:


 Everyone knows that snow is beautiful but it can also be very useful:
For keeping beverage cold...

For making angels...

For exercising...

For swimming...  (Flo and cousin William)

For doing some art...

Even for horse racing!!  (Ski jamboree)
 I decided to take the rougher trail:


And then, after 30 minutes of hard climbing, I reached the top.  On the top of that mountain, this is a small but very deep lake.  Some people said this is an old volcano, but hard to believe.  But on that moment, I thought that Zac would really like to be here with his motorbike.  Each winter, crazy guys come here with their 4 wheels and make a racing ring on the ice:


Then, I continue my way and I noticed some tracks in the snow and I decided to give you some lesson:

PAWS 101

Mouse

Weasel

Squirrel

Partridge

Huummmm...  What about that one?

Like Australians, Canadians are tough people.
So, after being on the sun for a month, I went back to my old habits very quickly...
