Icy channel
Icy channel

It may be cold but there is a certain dealy beauty to all of this.

Frigid waters
Frigid waters

I've always wondered why they don't hold a polar bear swim here. A simple net across the bottom of the channel would catch the survivors.

Sparkles
Sparkles

I tried to catch the snow sparkling in the slanting sunlight. This is for you, Richard.

Missed perch
Missed perch

I tried to re-create a shot taken with my previous camera. No deal. The chickadees were onto to me and refused to pose on this singular perch.

Bullrush shadows
Bullrush shadows

I don't know why. I just liked this scene.

Gatineau Hills
Gatineau Hills

Last Saturday I had nothing better to do than drive along the Parkway with no particular destination in mind. The Gatineau Hills remain an enigmatic v (...)

Chateau Laurier
Chateau Laurier

Well ... Gidday! I recently went for a wee tour of Winterlude down by the canal. Here is the iconic Chateau Laurier basking in the morning sun. From h (...)

NAC abstract
NAC abstract

My eye was caught by this unusual sculpture which sits all by itself in a forgotten terrace of the NAC.

Urban flare
Urban flare

The sun seemed to toy with the sculpture causing it to change appearance moment by moment. The sculpture fought back by bouncing this flare over the s (...)

Fire ice
Fire ice

A close-up shot of an ice sculpture that was lit from behind by a multi-colored lamp.

NATO dawn
NATO dawn

The mild weather had damaged most of the ice sculptures but some had survived relatively intact. This one commemorates the 60th anniversary of the fou (...)

Torso
Torso

This abstract was extracted after protracted composition from an interesting sculpture in increasing meltdown. It once had form but only the torso rem (...)

Wing
Wing

Another melted sculpture - an eagle whose head was gone but whose wing still beats against the odds.

Ice rushes
Ice rushes

From carved ice to Nature's ice. I went for a wander in the valley letting the Bumblebee choose the way. I wasn't looking for anything in particular, (...)

Whiskers
Whiskers

The Bumblebee was fascinated by a bunch of horses having breakfast so I took a few shots. This fellow, who I called Whiskers, was as curious towards m (...)

Happiness
Happiness

Imagine my surprise when this horse whinneyed and snorted, "Heather, we love you and we miss you!"

Frosty rings
Frosty rings

A proletarian post with intersting frost rings. Nothing fancy. Just a pee break opportunity.

New north
New north

Somehow, the Bumblebee and I got lost on the Quebec side way up the line. You know you're lost when CBC disappears from the airwaves and reappears onl (...)

Abandoned farmhouse
Abandoned farmhouse

Texas has nothing on this neck of the woods. I sure wouldn't want to be stuck here at night. Six-toed locals and circular family trees abound here. It (...)

Junk yard
Junk yard

Another look at this disreputable farmhouse. It was time to git to higher ground and to search for some signs of civilization.
