Icicles

Here today... gone tomorrow...

By a nose

Farley is an ex-racer. I can see how he could have won many a races by "a nose".

This way

We're going this way... I see my friend down the road... Do you see him, do you see him?

A Well Deserved Rest

After a nice walk in the snow Farley relaxes on his fouton. It is a "dog's life".

Happy Birthday Farley

Many of you have met Farley in person or virtually on the world wide web. Farley recently celebrated his 11th birthday. Although Farley can not speak "human" in words, he speaks volumes with his big brown eyes and energy. In fact he refuses to grow up and still acts like a silly puppy at times. Always ready and willing to go for a walk, especially if it is snowing. How he can sniff out a bone in a mound of snow is amazing... and how he tries to sneak it past me is even more so. It is his way of eating out. So this week I will be honouring my best friend Farley... Happy birthday buddy!

Snow-Snow-Everywhere

Gota love the white stuff...

Icy Reflections

Look up... look down... sometimes the image merges to one.

Flow into the Abyss

It is a cold night, so it is a good excuse to get creative in Photoshop CS5. This may not be for everyone's tastes but I had fun creating it... and that is basis of my photographic philosophy.

Wispy Birds

When I saw this as I walked outside my house I was drawn to it by its shape and how it stood out from the snow. After "playing" with it in Photoshop CS5 it started to remind me of birds flying.

The Bench

On Saturday the snow was melting. Went to bed when it was snowing and woke up to fresh white blanket covering the ground. Mother Nature was busy working her magic...

The Cemetary-Pinhole Photo #1

This week I will be posting images taken with a pin hole adapter on my Canaon 7D. What is pin hole photography you may ask? Basically it is the most basic form of photography.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinhole_camera
It is a "pin-hole" that lets light into the camera. No fancy lens. In the predigital days a pin hole camera could be easily built with any light proof container to expose either film or light sensitive photographic paper. I used to use toilet paper tubes as I liked the effect of the curve of the tube.

Country Fence

The country fence or is it? Actually it is just around the block from my office. The texture is courtesy of http://www.flickr.com/photos/moosebite/sets/72157614012140342/

Frost Worms

A not so rare species that happily shows up when it is bloody cold outside.

The blur

Around and around they go... only to be a blur in their passing.

The Race

Ventured out to The Maurice Richard Arena to take in the Canadian Open Short Track Championships. Once again managed to wrangle a media pass. If you ask nicely you will succeed (sometimes). The media pass allowed us (my brother) to be rink side. But once again no lobster buffet for the media.

Frosty Map

It was bit cool on Sunday... okay it was bloody freezing. But with this lovely weather came nature's creations. When I saw this it immediately reminded me of a map. Perhaps it is because of my cartographic background.
