Eclectic, Genre-Busting Fiction

Having proved last week that we don’t have winter, and our Spring is both incredible, as well as just as incredibly unpredictable as anywhere else in the world, let us reaffirm the stereotype that Canada is nought but wind-swept tundra with today’s photos, preceded by a topical quotation from A.E. Housman [1859 – 1936]:

About the woodlands I will go
To see the cherry hung with snow

–“A Shropshire Lad” [1896]; Nº2, st. iii

March 11: SNOW! March 11: SNOW!
March 11: SNOW! March 11: SNOW!

I wonder what the people in the Canadian Maritimes are doing right now…? Probably giggling at us, I suspect.
