I'm super happy that it's sunny on this work-from-home day for me. I was able to skip out for a nice walk, and I can make up the work later.
#snow

A snowy path curves through a field. The sun is bright in a hazy sky, and there are bare tree silhouettes in the distance. This is an asphalt path that was cleared after one snow storm, but not after the most recent snow storm. So we can see clearly where the path is, without a single trace of asphalt. The fresh and drifted snow slope down from the plowed mounds on the sides.

On a whim, I walked up a small hillside to see the trees at the top, and look what I found!
#mushtodon #LichenSubscribe

A thick crusty tree trunk in the sun, dotted with bits of lichen, and with some tiny mushrooms growing out of a deep crack. They are small capped mushrooms with slender stems, wilted and frozen. One is frozen sideways in a way that gives us a view of the gills.

A common sight in Quebec, the fallen glove that has been placed on a fence post in hopes that its owner will find it when they pass by again. A sign of optimism and good will towards strangers.

A black glove on a fence post, vaguely featuring to the left. The background is a snowy hill dotted with trees. The sun is bright and low in the sky.

@dillyd@turtleisland.social another kindness sometimes seen in Canada is scarves knitted and placed in public places for unhoused/disadvantaged people to take.
