off to school

only in Canada....
pp
Yup!! Lol. This is an awesome shot!!! Such a huge sky and a weee lil person :) LUVIT! We always have a terrible cold winter and this year there has only been ONE snow day!! And it wasn't even from snow, it was because it was so windy out that the roads were glare ice so school buses were cancelled.

Fav! Love this...well not the weather because I am so over snow but this image is wonderful. Poor little one battling the elements uphill.

@egad @kdimagery We haven't had an authentic snow day yet. The busses get cancelled but the schools are open and my oldest loves school so I always end up taking her. She loves 'snow' days the best because there aer hardly any kids so it's more fun stuff and less work. This kid was probably 8 or 9. I saw her crossing the field as I was walking in with mine. Thanks so much for the fav. I only had my phone and I was quite surprised with how this came out. I really love it too.

Ah! I forgot to fav it!! Lol.
Yah, the schools have never closed here either, just one day of bus cancellations. There were semi trucks and grey hound buses in the ditches all along the highways that day! Very scary and so glad they cancelled buses!!

wow fav. love the very clear tiny silhouette with the background....
February 21st, 2013  
@edie perfect example of 'the best camera is the one you have with you'. :)
February 21st, 2013  
Cool picture. Wow... that is a hard route to school.
February 21st, 2013  
Really awesome, Edie. Such the story that kids are told about how parents had to walk uphill in the snow (and barefoot, to boot). How they had it so hard. Super candid. Love the negative space! A fav!
February 21st, 2013  
A wonderful shot! Great use of negative space. It really serves to emphasis the smallness of the walker!
February 21st, 2013  
Soooo... it's springtime in Canada then? ;o)) Lovely shot!
February 21st, 2013  
Lovely winter shot !
February 21st, 2013  
In that! That's amazing.
February 21st, 2013  
Great shot, Edie. FAV
February 21st, 2013  
Or Minnesota...it was soooo cold! Great compostion on this!
February 22nd, 2013  
Yay PP! :)
February 22nd, 2013  
@egad Thank you for telling me! I would never have seen it...I'm having one of those months where it's been hard to find time for 365 so I really appreciate it.
February 22nd, 2013  
That is an awesome shot! All the more fantastic because of what you took it with! I never really had to walk to school in this kind of snow, but for some reason this makes me think of my childhood and the snow we had then. Such a beautiful and emotion filled shot- fav.
February 22nd, 2013  
@olivetreeann Thank you! It does seem like there were more colder and snowier days back then.
February 22nd, 2013  
Congrats on making PP! What a neat shot and I love that tiny figure out there in what looks like a blizzard.
February 22nd, 2013  
Oh my!
Fav
February 23rd, 2013  
Fav! That retro feel! Beautiful and smile-making!
February 23rd, 2013  
Love the contrast :)
February 23rd, 2013  
@cimes1 @roadshow @edorreandresen @naomi You are all awesome. Thank you.
February 24th, 2013  
So small!!! Very cool contrast.
February 24th, 2013  
this is such a great shot, esp for your phone, but you did a lovely composition, i can't imagine snow like this, great capture. fav
February 24th, 2013  
Gorgeous shot ... Love the smallness of the figure in the big snowy landscape
February 24th, 2013  
i'm thinking that's apocrophal (i have no idea how this is spelled and i am too lazy to look it up ;p)... not something you'd see in Toronto! but it's a pretty cool shot!
February 25th, 2013  
SUCH great detail captured for being so far away. nice work :)
February 25th, 2013  
Love love. Big fav.
February 27th, 2013  
Fantastic composition. I love all of the white and the little bitty girl in the middle. Fav.
March 1st, 2013  
Love this too! There has been a lot of the white stuff lately. I just read your profile too and I am doing the same thing relaxing the 365 rules, and if I don't go out and get a pic that day, there are thousands I can choose from last year!
Are you in Southern Ontario?
March 1st, 2013  
@newbie It's easier to say then do though isn't it? I find I am pushing harder than I planned. Yes, I am in Southern Ontario. We had no snow last year. It looked like it was going that way this year until February came along. I have a brother in Montreal and one in Ottawa. I'll let you know if/when I make it that way.
March 1st, 2013  
love love love this! big fav!
March 2nd, 2013  
I know I'm only discovering this mooooonths after you did it, but it's just so beautiful, I have to add it to my FAV's. :)

November 25th, 2013
