Snowy scenes from Saturday morning in Saint-Louis neighbourhood. Shovelling snow with an improvised shovel: a broom and some cardboard! In the background the butcher is tending to his roast chicken.--------------------------------
Samedi, la pelle était improvisée : un balai et du carton ! Au second plan, le boucher se préoccupe de sa rôtissoire !

I really like scenes like these - they are so interesting. Can't imagine trying to shovel snow with a broom and cardboard! Heck, I can't imagine snow anymore!
Re your comments: The Big Horn sheep are very skittish...I fortunately had a long lens but even so they started making their way up the mountain quickly in case I came any closer...
And yes, I play with my camera on the golf course! Of course, silly. How else can you take photographs?
I just bought a new snowblower, so rest assured, we will not have any snow this winter.
The makeshift snow shovel is working pretty well! Saint-Louis is beautiful year-round, but the snow add a little something special.
Wonderful snowy scenes, Ciel. You are having a good snow!

As they say, necessity is the mother of invention. It looks cold. Great shots.
These latest photos of yours with the snow are so idyllic. I can feel my eyes soaking up the scenes.
Brrrrr. It looks chilly and wet.
I hope you are feeling better. MB
Hot chicken in the snow!
Funny. I remember a couple of years ago watching the owner of a Mexican restaurant here sweeping the snow with a broom. So incongruous, but I didn't get my camera out before he went inside.
Adaptation semble être le maitre-mot! ainsi que flegme...
Si tu vas sur mon 2ème blog, tu retrouveras une grand vedette...
At this hour (11 am) what more impressed me is the idea of the butcher tending his roast chicken: I already can smell them...
Wow amazing winter!I'm always worried to walk on the streets with snow, I think it's dangerous!Last year I fell in the snow , hmmm so much pain in my leg :(
Take care,

Ah, this has me smiling: perfect documentation of a snow storm in a living city.
Re your question on Ocala: I assume you were just trying to be funny but no, silly, they didn't wear kilts at the Tartan farm. I think the guy who headed up 3M (McKnight) was Irish. But they wore boots and Levis just like every other self-respecting Florida cowboy!
Re your question on Stone Creek: Stone Creek is comprised of several different sections: Sebastian, Pinebrook, Buckhead, Longleaf, Arlington and Santa Fe. Pinebrook and Santa Fe are all villas (twin homes)...Sebastian has mostly smaller homes. The others have the larger houses most of which offer a two-car garage which includes a door and spot for a golf cart.
We live in Santa Fe, the newest area.
I am still wandering around like Charlotte Bronte in all our snow! xxx
Looks like the same snow we got yesterday. nice pictures.
Wonderful street scenes! I love the shopkeeper's clever improvision. Tres magnifique, Ciel.
I guess everyone has to make do with what they have! I am trying to prepare myself for the cold by looking at all these snow pictures in Europe.
Brrr, it looks very cold.
Love these snowy city scenes. I have never seen it snow in my city.
tu as raison Stéphanie, la neige s'est du boulot en plus faut préparer les grogs
Boy does that look cold! We're still waiting.
Is it snowing like that already? Wow. And what a great idea...broom and cardboard combination. I'll have to remember that ;D
chez toi il faut balayer devant sa porte . c'est beau de loin la neige; ici en ce moment plus froid 28.
Hehehe! Our TV news here secretly delights in showing clips of Vancouver and Victoria trying to clear snow the same way. Most of Canada is familiar with snow, but not Vancouver and Victoria.
Cool shots. The falling snow really stands out against the man's coat in the top photo.
Looks sooooooo cold!!:)
