Smell that fresh air and soak in those colors! This is one of those moments to savor. Life does move fast, yet here everything holds still. Thanksgiving weekend, Echo Lake
The view back up ‘Village Way’ ski run with peak of Big White Mountain in background, and high alpine skiable terrain. Highly recommend this back country mountain on the border of the Kootenay region British Columbia, for the pure fun of skiing.
The Rainbow Eucalyptus trees of Maui are found on the drive to Hana. Like good tourists, we read up on them before heading out, and yes they are there ready to be touched and photographed 🙂 Everything about the color is natural. Annually patches of outer bark are shed, leaving the inner bark exposed. This then darkens to a mix of blue, purple, orange and maroon. It really looks like someone painted the trunks!
Finally I believe we have spring coming to this area of the world! This Blue Jay, plus a pair of Cardinals, a woodpecker, and a Robin were busy eating and tending to their nests on Saturday afternoon.
Surprise! April 15 and we find 2 feet of snow at our friends cottage. We planned to open it up for the summer, however found ourselves tobogganing down the driveway, building snowmen and having snowball fights. Highlight was having a drink on the snow covered dock, in a Muskoka chair, surrounded by frozen Bay Lake.
Saturday February 13 will be known as the coldest winter day of 2016 at -32 C. and a wind chill pushing -40 C. It snowed all day with blowing winds and poor visibility, keeping us indoors for the day (except for the mandatory after hours hot tub and whisky). Sunday was picture perfect sunshine and awesome powder skiing.
Two strangers and myself enjoying this brilliant sunrise over Lake Ontario. It was a cool Sunday morning at the end of September that delivered a multitude of colors in the sky. Photo taken from Coronation Park.
For all the golf lovers, here is world famous Glenn Abbey golf course at sunrise last year, as the colors were changing. Was a very cool morning with frost on the greens and mist rising from 16 Mile Creek. Taken from the Upper Middle overpass.
