#2503 "April Snow Flurry Streets"

The northwesterly streets of turbulent stratocumulus were lined up and bringing some spring snow flurries. The cumulus shafts preceded the flurries as the cloud structure was tilted over with the strong winds. The lifted condensation level of the cloud base was obliterated by the flurries. I wanted to capture that process in the oils. The aligned 

The heaviest flurry producer was on the western horizon. If you looked closely, you could see a subtle difference in the colour of the sky beneath the overhead street of stratocumulus even though the cloud base was clearly defined. There was snow falling from that cloud as well but not nearly as much. Those overhead snow flakes sublimated away before reaching the ground. 

There was still some snow on the rocks of Jim Day Rapids. The roofs on the homes and cottages on the western shore of Singleton Lake were also white. The stabs of white structures picked up a bit of the morning light and really stood out strongly against the dark forest. 

My goal was to keep the energy alive and well in those clouds. I also wanted to respect Earth Day by recording the weather and the beauty of everyday nature. We need to be better stewards of paradise.
