Oh Canada!

What says Canada more than a maple leaf and winter?

Late Afternoon

I took these photos at about 4 pm when I took the dogs for a walk.
The light was dying but the sky was amazing. The trees crackled with ice and the path was strewn with fallen branches

Can a basketball net be a thing of beauty?

Well, maybe when it is coverd in ice!

The day after freezing rain

Here are the crabapples coated in ice - don't they look like some kind of frozen desert?

Ice Storm

An all day shower of freezing rain made for some amazing late afternoon photos. Just look at the I can't wait for the light tomorrow!

Taj Mahal

I thought this window snib looked a lot like the Taj Mahal!

Chair and leaves

The leaves in this photo, taken less than a month ago, have turned brown and blown away. I will have to embrace the many subtle shades of brown that mark the onset of winter but with all the grey weather we have seen these last three weeks a spot of gold wouldn't hurt!

Til the Cows Come Home!

We live in the beautiful Lanark Highlands, home of the patented fence. This fence was designed to stand solidly without digging in posts. It is almost impossible to dig post holes here because we are in Canadian shield - rock country!
The fence seems to be doing a fine job keeping these cattle in.

Blue-green Water and Trees

I just had to share this photo with you, look at the colour of that water! I wanted to dive in but it was WAY too cold!
