I want colour

I went for a walk yesterday, and snapped a few photos.

Things are still dull at the moment. And seeing the lovely colourful photos you're all posting is making me long for colour to return to this part of the planet.

So, back to the walk. It was just so ... brown.

And beige.

But mostly brown.

Even the critters. Even the critters' eyeballs. Even the treats for the brown-eyed critters.



Okay, there is new growth, but still ...

Beige.

On brown.

Against a brown background.



Maybe a hint of reddish-brown.



Brown.

And I'm not saying brown is bad -- I'm just looking for a little less brown.

And a lot of non-brown.

I want this:



Waiting in Ottawa.

Impatiently.

(PS. I'm also blaming brown for the lack of posts -- it's just, I didn't want to ruin brown for you all as well, what with the many, many, many photos I've taken featuring ... tada: the colour brown. Ha!)

;-)

Friday cloud blogging

Pink-tinged clouds at sunset and Canada geese returned with the warm weather we've had this week. Snapped this with my iPhone.

I wanted to be here today

... and so I did by looking back through my photographs.









How great is that ... :)

Feathery companions helping me get through the winter blahs

More house sparrows in the snow!

Winter walk

Some scenes from a winter walk at Old Quarry Trail on the weekend.























Over the next couple of weeks, I'm going to post some of my favourite photos taken in 2011. I was consolidating and updating photo files the other day and realized how few I've posted. This is a good way to work through the files and enjoy the moments again. I'm starting tomorrow with January 2011, and eager to get into the spring months - missing the colour these days!

Other odds and ends -- I don't have a social media plan, that is whenever a new enterprise starts up and I think it's interesting I join (e.g., twitter, tumbler, g+, Instagram, etc.). The other day I was thinking about it, and I find it all overwhelming! I'm not sure where to post, when/how often to post, what to post to each etc. I'm going to have to figure out a way to use these better, and hopefully not feel so scattered with them all. If any of you have any helpful advice about how you manage all these accounts, I'd love to hear it!

Winter

Some random winter scenes. It was slow in coming, but winter is most definitely here.

Also, the long blog dry spell is over. Hope to get back to regular posting.
