Description
This is what happens when it snows before the leaves are finished falling. That's correct, you get a Molson Canadian commercial - i.e. a most stereotypically Canadian scene.Advertising references aside, I thought it was a beautifully random occurrence. The contrast is stunning in simple way, in my opinion.
O Canada, With glowing hearts we see thee rise,
The True North strong and free!

Oh damn that's beautiful. The real red ones of that particular colour are so hard to find even out here.

The mosaic of nationalities and ethnicities is part of what makes Canada unique and wonderful.
"In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes a Canadian and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the personβs becoming in every facet a Canadian, and nothing but a Canadian."
- Prime Minister Sir Wilfrid Laurier 1907

Great quote, I think he took exactly the right words to point out that everyone can become a Canadian if they really want to.
And I guess it'd be kinda boring without all these totally different people who make Canada and especially Vancouver so great. ;D

Very good, the texture of the leaf and obviously the contrast of colors.

Thanks for the comment! I was very pleased with the amount of texture I was able to capture, given I wasn't using my good camera (the batteries died lol).

Awesome. It's too bad that the snow won't last very long.

That's very true. It's so sad when it starts to melt.

Is it spring yet?

Thanks! It's not even technically winter yet, plenty of time for more snow!

No...send it back, I've changed my mind, I don't want any snow this winter.
I'd like another winter like last year.
We had three years in a row of record snow, here in Keswick, so last year was a welcome change.
