Fishing Lure

We found this lure washed up on the beach, luckily before anyone stepped on it.

Bank of Ottawa

Snapped while driving through central Prince Albert today. I had a meeting in town and got a little lost on purpose on my way out. The downtown core has such a European feel to it.

Thumb

The sin of pride: I am overfond of my new mani.

Cold

Snapped while in the car driving down Pembina fog rising from the river.:

Steam Rising

It's absolutely frigid here, and the river hasn't frozen yet, hence the steam.

Bird in Flight

Faded but glorious in its own way.

La Vie en Rose

Not quite what the song meant, but a better title than: "Yet Another Macro of a Rose"

Hoar Frost

Spectacular scenes this morning when I took Darby for his walk, but it was so cold my fingers started to go numb.

Roses

These smell very sweet. Lovely!

Tree

I spent the evening decorating our small tree and listening to Christmas carols. Only 22 more sleeps.

Snow

Although we did get some light snow today, this dump is being trucked in. My best guess is that it's from the ice machine at the local rink.

Asleep in Under 30 Seconds

Darby quickly succumbs to exhaustion.

33rd & Warman

Sundown near Robin Hood.

Beauty

A true glamour shot for a Saturday evening. Spent the day glued to the computer. Have put off my hair long enough. Hope one day to be either gray or rich enough to forgo this at-home ritual.

Office

I am hoping to shame myself into cleaning this place by posting a pic.

Darby Sleeping

Two for one today: I couldn't resist this shot of Darby snoozing peacefully. It's very relaxing to watch a dog sleep.

Pigs in a Blanket

I had my nails done earlier this evening in preparation for next month's holiday in the sun. Counting down the days!

Horticulture Buildings

Was on campus at the start of the day. Love these little buildings.

End of Day

Red drink, red book, red eyes

I <3 My Mac

The keyboard on my new Mac is just the cutest thing. I love the way the brushed steel glows in the light.
