White Winter

Today was the first day we have been able to complete our usual distance of 8 kilometers on the trail. The conditions were less than perfect. The trail has not been groomed and had drifting snow in spots.

It takes a village of ice huts.

 

Mean Mr. White

Today is perfect winter day. Bright blue sky and crisp air. Here is a pic I took this morning.

Dreams of summer days!

Blackie & The Rodeo Kings

Went to a great show last night at the Grand Theatre in Kingston. Blackie & The Rodeo Kings were laid back with a kitchen party for their first set. After break, they were rocking! Here is a video of "water or gasoline" from another performance.

Snowy day today!
What was predicted as 1 to 3cm has turned into over 10cm so far. But I'm already thinking of summer. I booked a cottage in Cape Breton and I'm already excited about going. Here are a few pics of our last trip there in 2012.

Another cold day!. Had a few errands to run and then settled in to do some computer fixes.
The night is cold and clear again. I would love to see some aurora. I have been looking every night this winter. The best nights as per predictions have been overcast here.
I don't have much experience with photos at night. but would love to capture some of the beautiful night sky.
Here is a pic taken in November 2012.

 

 



 

 



My village

I am happy to be back online after a few days outage due to hardware.

Here is an etching by my partner David Smith. It captures a glimpse of our village, Harrowsmith Ontario. Dave produces limited edition prints. Note that his etchings are done in the traditional way on copper plates.
