Winter Snow Blue Ice Water Ripples Cattails Postcard

This is a fantastic souvenir or keepsake of Old Hull, Quebec or Canada. It's winter in southern Canada, and the sun creates an intriguing play of shadow and light patterns on the snow and ice and the ripples of open water of Brewery Creek, Ile de Hull, Quebec, Canada. In the foreground of this pretty winter landscape, long-stemmed cattails (Typhaceae typha) aka reeds or bulrushes, wait for the warm light of spring. The cattails begin to puff up and soon fluffy seeds burst forth and fly free to dance on the wind, leaving only a narrow spike at top of the parent plant as the seeds disperse and seek new places to grow in spring. Sunlight shines on the snow of the far bank, creating warm bright patches and dramatic shadows. This monochrome treatment is a whimsical range of blue tones. Blue is a colour of dreams, intuition, honesty and truth. This design works well with both rustic and modern home decor and is suitable for men or women, ideal for nature lovers, friends of creeks and marshes; or an elegant souvenir of Canada or Quebec to send home to family.
