-35

Today is a magical -35, so I did not venture outdoors. Mother Nature certainly is proving her dominance. She certainly is PMS ing...lol.. and I am not finding her hints of spring so amusing. It did however give me an opportunity to catch up on posting my Australia pictures.

Stony Plain Church

No pictures from yesterday as I was in Wetaskiwin and Edmonton and just had no time, to busy running errands and driving.
These pictures are of the Luthern Church in Stony Plain AB. I never tire of the beautiful stone work done in the days gone past.

 

I won't be posting for a few days as we are helping moving my Mom's dearest friend from her condo into assisted living. It's only Feb and I have already broken my resolution for a picture a day. Life does get in the way and I realize that was a very ambitions goal to set. I will, however try the best to stick to my goal as close as possible.

Chickadees

- 13 today, but the birds were loving it. I guess the bright sun makes them happy too!

 

 

Silver Skate Festival

I stopped in at the Silver Skate Festival in Edmonton. Some very talented people showing their snow sculpturing abilities.

Busy

Today, I was too busy to get out to take any pictures, but I did manage to get this one off my balcony. I wish that the power lines were located elsewhere as it is so hard to shoot without them in my pictures.

Cold but beautiful.

Today is very cold and crisp. I managed to get a few pictures on the country drive to Wetaskiwin. The hoar frost was just starting to fall off the trees.

This caught my eye, while I was in the Tim Hortons drive thru...love how the snow clumped on this bush.

Winter returns!

Well, I knew it was too good to last. This is what we woke up to this morning.It is somewhat of a welcome as the snow tends to get so dirty at this time of year..the cold returned as well. Mother natures reminder to appreciate each and every day.

 

 The snow is so heavy on these branches. It reminded me of a bunch of hands reaching out.

 

This is the snow pile that was cleared off a parking lot. I couldn't help but see the head of a dog in it. Had a lot of visions this day - probably due to brain freeze.
