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.

On November 11

Fall colours

Random bursts of brightness in the company of the dull and dreary.






Summer ... burning out, not fading away.

Friday cloud blogging

Had the canoe out this past weekend for the first time this season.





We left the house at 5am in order put in just as the sun was rising -- the mist and fog and calm waters make the early rising worth it.









We picked the Tay canal and river as we've never been there before, wanted something relatively close and it was recommended to us. It was an amazing paddle -- so many loons and ducks and beavers shared the sunrise with us. Beautiful.
