Chryslyn wanted me to try to get a picture of the softly falling snow.... Such a beautiful day in Waterton.


Moments before I told Chryslyn we were going to take off our skis and hike into the trees on an "adventure." She thought I was crazy because the snow was so deep. And she also thought, "This has better be IT if I'm following this nutcase through this waist-deep snow into the forest!"


I led her in a ways, and it was quite a struggle really to plough through. We were surrounded by trees and I sort of got down on one knee... Really, one leg was completely down in the snow up to my groin, and the other leg was kind of bent up on the snow. So I looked up at Chryslyn and took this picture, and then put away my camera and took her hands, said some nice words, and asked if she'd marry me!
