Winter is sprucing things up again today with lovely large flakes which have been coming down since about 5:00 a.m. It’s looking a lot like Narnia out there! At least the snow didn’t start last night, as was predicted, and mess with the YVR departures. By checking on the British Airways web site, I see that the flight carrying our little family arrived safely at Heathrow airport 13 minutes late, at 1348 London time. The airport is where they will celebrate Kenny’s fourth birthday before departing for Entebbe.
Talking about flights – in times like this I wonder whether the widgeons, pintails, mallards etc. that overwinter here wish they could revisit their decision to stay. The ponds and rivers are covered with ice so flocks of ducks and geese are congregating on the ocean beaches and foraging for food under the tablecloth. This widgeon posed for me, between mouthfuls, on White Rock beach.
