It was a sunny day here in Quebec. Some of our classes decided to head outside a bit early to get some fresh air and exercise. Students were walking, playing soccer, throwing the football around, climbing the Spiderweb and yes, you guessed it, watching the snow melt. This drain is in the middle of the asphalt in the backyard. All the melted snow ends up here. This area is a kid magnet. One of my students asked if she could take pictures so I handed her the camera and off she went. Jade took some good ones but I liked this one because it speaks so loudly of the anticipation for warmer days. It also has a timeless quality in that it could have been taken a year, five years or ten years ago. It might even conjure up a few memories for you.

Anticipation for warmer days...I can relate well!
I think he's trying to speed it up!
you can feel the anticipation in the shot.
Oh yes - let it melt. A little further south than you - but there is still snow on my lawn. I wait for the sun each day to eat a little more into the piles.
