Pine needles frozen in ice - Nature is telling us to slow down?
Pine needles frozen in ice – Nature is telling us to slow down?
THUNDER BAY – There is beauty in nature no matter what Mother Nature throws at us.
The storm made our city a disaster for driving, and walking. But perhaps that is nature’s way of slowing us down. Making us stop and look at the power of nature as opposed to the power of man’s efforts to attempt to overcome all aspects of nature’s power.
From April 26th to April 27th the long arm of “Old Man Winter” grabbed hard on Mother Nature and showed our region the power of nature over man.
Here are a few scenes from the storm.
Collection of Leaf and Yard Waste
Be very careful around downed power lines, or trees which can hide those lines.
