…thanks to Becky B for hosting March Squares
The theme for March Squares is spiky squares. Over the last few weeks I’ve been navigating the ice in the park to find some interesting ice sculptures created by nature. Here’s one that fits into this month’s theme.

This bird certainly has a thick crop of feathers on top of his head.
An abundant crop of apples on the tree and vegetables at the market.

…thanks to Nancy Merrill for hosting the A Photo a Week Challenge
This week’s topic is very broad and open ended. The trick was finding photos that translate well into a black and white format. I actually liked the following photos better in black and white.
….did you know that the poinsettia is actually a tree
I’m looking after my neighbour’s plants while she’s away. Two of them are white poinsettias and they don’t look very healthy. According to Becky B over at Life with B this is very normal in Feb/March when they normally lose all their leaves before summer. The individual flowers on one of the plants still look quite pretty.

…I’m glad that someone is getting joy out of this crazy weather
Actually seeing this angel brought me joy and it brought back memories of me as a kid doing the same thing in freshly fallen snow. I saw the children who had probably made the angels with their parents when I was walking through the park to catch more ice designs with my camera. It was a bit treacherous because beneath the snow was slick ice. I had visions of falling and sliding down the banks into Lake Ontario. I saw another photographer out looking for interesting shots and he was walking very gingerly over the ice as well.
We had lots of rain last night. Could this be the end of winter? I doubt it but we’re getting closer and closer to spring.
