The Four Seasons

One of the best things about Canada is that you get to experience all four seasons distinctly. With summer comes the gorgeous rich, lush greenery, the clear blue skies ; in autumn you get to see the green leaves turning into a crisp reddish/golden-brown and experience the occasional drizzles; winter enables you to experience the incredible beauty of pristine white snow (and the incredible frustration of travelling in it); spring where you get to see the grass growing on the previous snow covered ground again and the leaves making a reapperance. It's absolutely breathtaking to observe these changes nature and it blew me away the first time I saw this all.

Well I noticed something else. I also change colour with the seasons. In summer, I get somewhat darker than normal, probably due to all the time spent outside in the sizzling sun. And in the winters, I get a cool lighter complexion, which is probably due to the fact that all my colour pigments and blood plasma freeze in the sub-zero temperatures.

On a more personal note, I hurt my heel bone and tweaked a muscle in my left arm while playing ball last night. I'm reduced to gingerly hopping around town on one leg which is kinda cool in an odd, twisted way.
