Dance

Poor light and motion made it impossible to take a conventional picture, so I went with the conditions and mixed it up a bit.

Florida Motel

Quintessentially orange

Holiday Necessities

While in Florida, we spent a few days on the beach. The weather, water and view were more than enough, but a few other essentials didn't go amiss.

Monkey Cake

The remains of a very delicious birthday cake

Superstar!

One of my favourite pictures.

Snow

Most of Western Canada was hit by a spring storm overnight. This is what it looked like here this morning.


And this is what it looked like 12 hours earlier.

Sleeping Dogs

Darby and Blue happily sharing the mat.

Late evening view from the back yard.

A Full Recovery

My camera finally creaked back into life today. To celebrate, I took a few random snaps around the house.

Coffee Maker

The inaugral cup made with a new coffee maker which arrived today. Thanks, Lem!

Flowers

These lovely flowers arrived today from the UK. Thanks, Matt! :)

Blue's New Pillow

I seem to have turned into one of those women, of a certain age, who develop an unhealthy obsession about their pets.

Bad Weather

Not only bad weather but also bad driving. I should not have been trying to take picture so close to a four-way stop.

Snow and Fir Tree

It snowed lightly all day. Most of it melted as it hit the ground.

Hoarfrost

It cooled down overnight, so there was a frost on the trees along the river.

Blue

Wood Store

It snowed yesterday morning. For a moment it looked like winter was back, but it melted in the afternoon sun.

Asleep

Blue likes to contort herself into strange positions when she sleeps. I'm told this is not unusual with greyhounds.

Mom's Birthday

These lovely flowers came from our family in Florida.

Blue

Blue came over to see what I was doing, which resulted in this extreme closeup.

Car Wash: The Odyssey

A few days ago, I resurrected the Honda. Since it was filthy, I headed to the car wash.


Along with half a dozen other people . . . To pass the time, I decided to take some pictures.


Of the steering wheel . . .


My heart-shaped key chain.


The car in front.


The filthy rear window


Me, trying to look patient.


After 40 minutes, I was at the keypad.


But I still had to wait. And wait. And wait.


But finally, it was my turn.


This is my favourite part.


I love to watch the water hit the car.


It feels like I'm trapped in a deluge.


All too soon, it was over.

The End

Patio Stone

When I woke up this morning to let the dogs out, the moisture on the patio had crystallised overnight.

Signs of Spring

Ice and flooding are two sure signs of spring in Saskatchewan. For those of you who have moved to warmer climes, see what you're missing?!

Dirt Mountain

Spring in Saskatoon is not always a pretty thing. I spotted this garbage bag flying from a snow hill in a local mall.
