Master of the Backyard

Darby, surveying his kingdom aka the backyard.

Snow

It looked like it might start snowing this afternoon, but it stopped.

Alstromeria

Isa

My adorable goddaughter.

Lit

Madly busy trying to make cards, wrap gifts and get ready for the christening on Sunday.

Snowy Tarp

The weather has been all over the map: the temps were in the teens yesterday and now we have snow.

Earrings

A gift from two of my favourite people in the whole world.

Bean Roasted

En route to the avocat's office

Darby

He looks like he's got Batman ears here, circa Val Kilmer.

Canoe in Snow

A reminder that summer is waiting somewhere down the road.

Fungi

A truly amazing collection of fungi spotted while strolling down to the lake. It has been crazy warm and most of the skidoo paths have melted, and those still out ice fishing are wearing their shirt sleeves.

Random Dog

While walking Darby up at the lake today, this young pup joined us midway and followed us all the way home.

Floral Tribute

My brother sent this truly amazing bouquet. It weighs as much as a small child.

What's in Your Bag?

On Campus

Railroad Crossing

The Love Machine

As seen through my cracked windshield.

Popcorn

Truck

Car Wash

Thread

Horses

When I stopped this afternoon, they came right over. I wish I'd had some lumps of sugar to give them.

Daybreak

Painted Horses

Spotted these two on my way home this evening. They were happily munching away.

Kitchen Pig

Incident

Lots of fire trucks and other emergency vehicles when I left the office today. No signs of fire though.

Super Centre

Taken inside the newest Wal-Mart.

Yarn

When it grows up, it's going to be an afghan.

Ice

This is probably the reverse of an icicle. It stands nearly five feet tall, and it's been formed by a drip somewhere along the garage roof. I love the way it almost looks like a face in the second picture.

Drive

Circle Drive East Exit Line

Boots

Blanket

It took me a few days to finish this, but it was worth the effort. Now I only need to find a home for it.

Valentine's Day

An early Valentine treat.

Hoar Frost

The fog hasn't lifted much in the past few days, so the frost was inches thick on the tree branches.

Chennels Road

Heavy fog today, and not many other cars out.

Cobweb

Mug

My new favourite mug: I love the no-handle approach, although it does mean waiting to let the coffee cool down before drinking.

Fresh Snow

We had some lovely flaky light snow fall a few days ago. Is it the Inuit who have so many words for snow? I wonder what they'd call this specimen.

Fleurs dans la salle de bains

Still snowy

Xmas Lights

Ceiling Medallion

Looking up in the elevator chez le Bes..

Candle Light

Dusk

The snow, when it first touches your skin, feels like it burns rather than freezes.

Grey Wool

Need to switch off, so I hauled out my knitting. My project is to make a felted bag to hold my knitting needles.

Valentine's Day

An early Valentine's treat.
