This morning as I waited for Gord to so kindly come and pick me up to drive me to work, I had my camera with me, and used it to take a few pictures of the snow that had fallen. The snow was just stopping falling; the sun had just come up. It was cold, but pretty.

1. Looking across the street

That tree is the one that was such a deep red only a few weeks ago.

2. My Neighbour Walks her Dog

It's almost 7:30 a.m., which means it's time to walk the dog.
This is one of the women in my apartment building, with her little pooch dressed up warm, happy to be outside whatever the weather.


3. Cosy and warm inside the Lobby

They've decorated the lobby nicely this year: we all think the fireplace is a delightful touch. The pictures above the fireplace are permanently there - they're photos of the skating on the Rideau Canal, which is right next to the apartment building.


I wanted to take other pictures as well - especially of the beautiful lights at Confederation Square - but there's something about snow and wintry weather that makes a person hesitate to take off her gloves and get out her camera. One of these days, I will.

It's so pretty. We've had snow on the ground since early November, which is not typical, but not the deep cold that you guys are having.

And those pictures of the skating. I want to pull out my skates and come try it out.

That doesn't sound typical at all. We used to get (and here I'm relying on my bad memory) snow that stayed on the ground early in December. The last decade or two it's been coming around mid-November, but not earlier. When I was a kid we'd usually get a light snowfall around Halloween, but it wouldn't last.

It was snowing hard again this morning.

Well, why don't you? Come visit! Bring your skates!

Mmmm, I would love to come up. Wonders if we can take time off after Christmas. ;-)

Think about it!
