One thing about Canada: you can be sure that you'll see a lot of snow. And that's not necessarily a bad thing.

Maybe even in July (that's a BAD thing). Lots of fun things to do in the snow and it can give some wonderful photo ops. Here are a few of my winter pictures.


weeds poking through the snow


bringing some firewood back to the cabin


the water under the ice had gone down but the ice stayed awhile longer


as the roof warmed up, snow started to slide down very slowly


icycles hanging from the edge of the roof


in springtime as the water started running along the roads, it carved under the snow


this little pine tree looked like it was wearing a snowy skirt


my field in winter


snow drift along the road


my cabin in winter


this fence is supposed to keep the buffalo out of my field


my lawn in winter, at the cabin


the road going past my cabin; 2 more miles is the very END of the road


at the cabin, sunrise on a snowy morning


a snowy birch tree at the cabin


sunset through the weeds in winter


SOME folks don't mind snow at all!! She hung around the cabin all morning.


This, I'm told, looks like a bra...............(?)


On the way home, January 16, 2007; if we'd stayed 2 more hours, we'd not have gotten out.


Roads were drifting in very quickly.


In spite of the drifting we had to stop and get this picture.


This was the mess left after the snowplow TRIED, out of the goodness of the operator's heart, to clear the way all the way to the cabin for me. Snow was 26 inches deep and he could not but wallow in it until I suggested, to his great relief, that he give up.


This cow moose had some hard work to do, just to walk back to the bush.


Along the road going past my cabin; 2 more miles is the very END of the road


Again, near my cabin.


This is the official temp back home in the city on January 29, 2008, showing both C and F.


Again, near my cabin.



Going upstairs from my basement, I looked out the basement window toward my garage door and noticed that the snow was not very happy.This was 100% natural; nobody messed with it.

Sometimes on a really cold morning, in town, the air is frozen like this.

Now, for a bit more eye-candy, I like this one of my pages just 'cause it looks nice to me; sorry about the advertising on it; I used a Free Host for that page:
