Craik

I spotted this bit of sculpture while in Craik for a meeting. It's cunningly put together.

Sunrise

I was on the road early Sunday morning. The conditions were amazing: lots of great light, fog and hoarfrost. Unfortunately, I didn't have time to linger.

Fruit

A fruit-filled still life spotted on the kitchen counter.

Winter Morning

Two shots today, both taken in the Kinsmen Park area. It's about a kilometer walk to the office from here, and I was mighty chilly by the time I made it in.

Streets

Only a few of the main streets have been plowed. Rumour is that the current municipal government decided to liquidate some equipment around the time they decided to privatize many of the services. Not very shrewd reasoning given the high probability of heavy snow in the area. But to be fair, they had a good run.

Drift

The wind must have been just right to let this drift build up along the edge of the roof.

Snow on Pine

The snow has finally stopped, but the traffic has yet to start up again. It's very peaceful out there, and I am going to spend a quiet day writing.

Snow Day

Although the conditions weren't quite as bad as down south, it was snowy enough to stay home all day. Got lots done.

Leaves on Trees

It's been snowing all day today, which makes the leaves on the trees look odd. We're supposed to get another 2-4 cm by this evening.

Lunch

Darby Sleeping

. . . on a very dirty carpet.

Tattoo Parlour

St Paul's Cathedral

Sunset at Atlanta Airport

Atlantic at Palm Beach

Palm Noire

West Palm Beach

I snapped this while filling the rental with gas. It was a very thirsty SUV.

Lunch

It seems like we did nothing but eat.

Key Kitsch

Spotted a warning sign on a faux gator.

Local Food and Drink

We stopped to eat at a local marina. I tasted gator for the first and last time. It was unpleasantly chewy.

Paradise

I could have stayed here forever: it was gorgeous!

Sunset

Sunset in the Keys a few hours later.

Warning: Vultures

Spotted this sign in the parking lot at the National Everglades Park
