Missing summertime skies?

Do the grey winter skies have you missing the summer sunshine?

On this day particularly as the year is coming to a close I have seen 8 inches of snow fall overnight making for dreadful road conditions. With the snow being so fluffy (as it seems to be every time it has snowed so far this year) it has allowing for the blustery winds to blow it around causing a rather unpleasant effect.

Stumbling upon this photo taken in Banff, Canada takes me back to the warmth and peacefulness of the summer in the woods.

This year I have been supplementing vitamin d3 which has certainly helped with keeping the distasteful winter woes at bay.

What are some tricks you have for keeping the winter blues away?

What would you have done different with this photo?
