Six more weeks?

Well, there is one thing to be said about frigid winds -- they can occasionally carve out some interesting shapes.

Brr!

So, in a matter of days, we can go from plus 8 to minus 30. Only in Canada, eh?

Horse blanket

If you had a thick hide, a little dusting of snow would not bother you either, eh?

Cold cobs

A frozen stand of corn poses many questions, does it not?

Survivors

Contrary to that disastrous promo on WKRP, the turkey can fly, in its own special way.

These fowl were no doubt in high spirits after they discovered that they had survived another Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Cold casing

Incredibly, about a week after an ice storm hit us, we are still covered in a chilly casing.

Frosty morn

It is that time of year, time to get some frosty morning shots.

Olympic moment

The Olympic flame came to Hawkesbury Friday, attracting about 1,000 people, despite a strong, frigid wind. This was the second time an Olympic flame camee to town. It was here in 1976, prior to the Summer Games in Montréal. The best thing about the relay's stop in Hawkesbury was that for once the town was making news, for a good reason.

Floridian trio

We spotted this trio craning to see how other Floridians live.

It is a small world, after all

At Epcot, we encountered a local, St-Eugene native Carolane Wylie, working at the Canadian pavilion. The many attractions include Japanese drummers and a fireworks show.

Island of contrasts

The Bahamas is an island of contrasts. Although it is independent, its capital, Nassau, retains tradition, such as the traffic cop in the midst of a bustling narrow street, and some obvious, sharp signs that some areas are off-limits.

End of the line

After the last windshield was made at the Pittsburgh Glass Works in Hawkesbury last week, the workers held a mock funeral for the firm that had been providing work for as many as 600 people over the last 40 years. They hung up their safety books, some of which were creatively enhanced, and released black balloons.

Ready for winter

Well, it is time to put away the canoe for another year. Forecast calls for snow, for the next six months.

Line on a line

There was something compelling about this line on a line suspended over a creek. Guess you had to be there.

She is in the slot...

Milly, who along with Percy popped up in my garden recently, is quite the hockey fan, playing the role of armchair coach.
