Sand to Snow

Sunday I flew home from balmy San Diego (see palm fronds in sunlight, below), to ice and snow in Calgary. It was exquistely beautiful, the entire city painted white in deep frost.

We don’t get much frost here, but it seems to be what comes with the cold weather this year. Cloud and frost, instead of clear skies and aching cold. I miss the sun on the those days, but I love the beauty of the frost.

There’s something miraculous about this switch in environment, a little bit of magic, that I can carry two such beautiful places in me, at the same time.
