Snowballs

The combination of wind and wet snow has created these whimsical snowballs in fields.

That is more like it

You know that all this mild winter weather was just a teaser for the real conditions we are used to. And, of course, the biggest blast of the season so far arrived on Friday the 13th!

Simple pleasures

They may be intelligent, but occasionally even cats take pleasure in the most simplest diversions.

White Boxing Day

So, now that we have had a white Christmas and a white Boxing Day, the snow can all leave now, right?

Morning Glow

One of the advantages of the time change is that we have more chances to catch some sensational sunrises.

Fall scenes

Fuzzy and foggy landscapes are all part and parcel of the transition between fall and winter.

Going, going

Fall is not for everyone but it does provide a chance to look at different colours, eh?

Salut, summer

Summer departed while the computer was fried, so this would be a good time to wrap up some warm weather memories now that we have new and improved connectivity.

Of course, we saw fire in the sky often as we basked in hot mid-summer nights. We had to get ready for winter, so we did some splitting.

And we learned about the literal meaning of the "fog of war" during a War of 1812 battle re-enactment.

Light rail

It is amazing how the sun can seem to illuminate even the most mundane subjects, eh?

Refreshing dip

Ah, Thanksgiving: A time for turkey, sweet potato pie and waterskiing?

Every square tells a story

A quilt display is one of the attractions of the International Plowing Match and Rural Expo that will be held just down the road, in East Hawkesbury, in September.

Quilts can tell a story, such as the one about the Underground Railway, herald accomplishments, such as the ribbons won by the Kirby family, and they burst into a fabulous display of colours.

Jungle cat

Millie takes her job seriously, venturing into her jungle even on long weekends.

July Colours

All creatures, including horses, enjoyed a bit of a romp in the midsummer landscape, where peas were hanging on and wheat was peaking.

Shades of green

Everywhere you look, everything seems to be green at this time of year, eh?

Team work

The strong and quiet types, Tiny and Rose work as a team at a recent plowing demonstration, one of the many events promoting the International Plowing Match in East Hawkesbury in September. This team shows why so many horsemen believe that horse-power on the hoof is the real attraction of plowing contests.
