Ceci est l'hiver!

A few days later, and about 22 degrees of latitude further south, our thoughts turned from Magritte to Gaugin. Allan's Cay, Exumas, March 7, 2008.

Winter's not so bad

Winter visitor

This barred owl spent a whole morning in a tree beside the woodpile. It may have chosen the sunny location because the temperature was around -20 C., but it may have been a good spot for catching mice.

Just as I was beginning to feel sorry for myself because of the nasty winter weather we've been having here, I received this photo from my brother out west to cheer me up! It was a thoughtful reminder that no matter how bad one's situation might be, it could be worse, so be happy.

Monochromatic

The first few snowfalls of the winter are enchanting, draining the last of the fall colours into shades of black and white. You probably won't find me going out to photograph snowy scenes come February and March, but for now they still have some appeal.

Even though they look like b&w photos, if you look closely, you'll find some hidden colour in each of them. You can zoom in by clicking on the picture.

All of these were taken during the early morning of Tuesday, Nov. 27th.
