Winter’s Cold Breath

Home represents so much more than just lumber and shingles and plumbing, it’s a place that almost everyone associates with safety and warmth. A refuge from the madness of the modern world we all live in.

Snow Covered Home – Cowichan Valley, Vancouver Island, BC, Canada

As the seasons change, the look and feel of a home tends to take on a different character. The same scene in the summer looks remarkably different in the winter. A coat of snow that covers the landscape creates a stark canvas, one that highlights contrasts. Swatches of color really pop against the crisp and clean white, creating a sense of inviting warmth against the unforgiving surroundings. A crackling fire, a cup of hot chocolate and the laughter of friends and family, what more could you ask for?
