In living colour…….freezing rain and ice pellets

No Sun in the Forecast for at Least a Week

Posted on April 14, 2018 by Mama Cormier

…..April showers, grey skies, overcast, freezing raining and ice pellets

This may have been the last time I saw the sun (taken a couple of days ago).

I’ve decided to focus my attention on the colour of the doors in my neighbourhood. This week I’ve chosen white and grey.

Roda’s Critter Connection – April 9, 2108

Posted on April 9, 2018 by Mama Cormier

…..despite the icy temperatures yesterday I ventured down to lake

I never tire of seeing the swans. Yesterday I brought with me the telephoto lens that fits onto my iPhone. I’m not sure I really needed it but I wanted to get as close as possible without scaring them off.

Thanks to Roda for the hosting theCritter Connection Challenge.

Sunday Trees – 334

….thanks to Becca Givens for hosting Sunday Trees

It’s a very dreary time of year. This year has been particularly bad with very cold temperatures, well below the norm for this time of year. Consequently there are no budding or flowering trees to brighten up my page for Sunday Trees. Hopefully this will change soon.

WPC – Smile

Posted on April 7, 2018 by Mama Cormier

….thanks to WordPress for this week’s theme smile

Today we woke up to grey skies and soon after it started to snow. Later in the afternoon the sun came out but it was short lived as a north west wind blew through bringing with it a blustery storm. I couldn’t believe how quickly the weather changed.

This is the view from our daughter’s house in Hamilton.

Fortunately the blizzard only lasted about 10 minutes and once again the sun came out and so did my smile. Here are a few shots of blue sky, the sun and a trumpet of swans that reappeared when the weather changed. All things that bring a smile to my face after this long weird winter and quirky start to spring.

Posted on April 3, 2018 by Mama Cormier

…..not as late as last week’s Challenge

Thanks Cee for hosting the Which Way Photo Challenge. Your challenges always challenge me to look for the unusual and sometimes mundane subjects. Here are a few shots that I took on my walk a few days ago.

More Signs That Spring is Here

….but I haven’t yet removed my snow tires

The shrubs and trees are starting to develop their buds, crocus are starting to emerge from the hard cold ground and I finally took down my Christmas lights.
