#ArtAdventCalendar Day 03 (I have 04 pics edited, but will I have the oomph to write alt for those tonight?..lol)
We've had several moderate snowfalls recently, with some warmth as well, making things a little messy at times (there are advantages to lower temperatures)- but also some nice #HolidayDecorations #ChristmasLights #TimeOfIce #Latvian #pagan #Alberta #photography

#ArtAdventCalendar Day 01 (late!) A dark image to remind us as we await the sun's return in the north, that we also need to honour and celebrate the Darkness. Blood, soil, womb, rest, regeneration, rebirth- these are all tied to darkness. #TimeOfIce #pagan #animist #winter #Alberta #LichenSubscribe #BorealForest #CountryLiving

2- This marks the end of the Time of Spirits, a period of remembrance and celebration of the dead-not just a night or a couple of days, but a whole season. Now begins the Winter season

Snow was right on time for the #CrossQuarterDay between Autumn Equinox and Winter Solstice- marking the #TimeOfIce -beginning of the #winter season in the traditional #Latvian calendar. The days since have been mild, but shadows long, shade and breezes chilly, temperature dropping rapidly as soon as the sun is below the trees or behind clouds so the winter season is definitely at hand, even if it is yet to get deeply cold (we've had nights probably had -10/-12C 14-10F)
