Feb. 27 ~ Hand Held Night Shot
My Camera has a feature called "Hand held night shots".
I've used it a lot, and am always astonished at the pictures.
As long as my subject (or myself) doesn't move, I get wonderful crisp results.
This photo was taken from inside the NAC, with the staircase and crystals reflecting on the wondow.

Feb. 26 ~ Art - the Original Photo
Glenn replied, "There's a kind of inlet just up Meech Lake ... under the
trail and into a small lake .... hiking down long slow slope of a hill... cross the stream ... get a beautiful view of Meech Lake on your left and the other
lake on your right."
Helen responded,"Trail #36 - Meech Lake. Last big hill before making your way to the (O'Brian) parking lot."

Two correct answers! Excellent work, you two!!

Feb. 25 ~ Art
I just finished this painting.
It is based on a photo that I took a few years ago, on a memorable ski day.
Can anyone identify this location?
Feb. 24 ~ Maggie: before and after
Eleven year-old Maggie was in a dance recital this weekend in Guelph.
Stage make-up was applied and a transformation occured!

Feb. 22~ making scones in Guelph
Topher ( Batman) and Koda (Princess Dee) always want to make scones when I go to visit.
They are great helpers, and, the final result is always delicious!

Feb. 21 ~ Construction progress
I first posted a picture of this building under construction on Dec. 8.
Here is an up-date, showing the 'progress' of the building, about two months later.
Supposedly, it is progress, but I certainly notice the lack of sunlight on the few occasions that I go downtown.

Feb. 20 ~ Skyline Trail
I try to ski the fabulous Skyline Trail once a year.
The difficult hills and turns require fresh snow, to make it possible.
We skied it last week, and I kept my unblemished record of falling on the tricky
S-curve, every single time!
This view from the trail (looking back to Ottawa) is a monochromatic colour photo,
although it could be black and white!

Feb. 18 ~ Cropped Cardinal
Below is the original picture of the cardinal, taken with my DSLR, from inside the house.
Cropping has given me this surprisingly sharp photo!

Feb. 16 ~ Trail? What Trail?
Feb. 15 ~ On CBC Weather Report
I submitted this photo to CBC's daily "Weather Photos".
Having submitted several before, with no success, I was delighted to receive an email from Ian Black to say that it would be 'on', on Feb. 15.
I was thrilled!
I took the photo while walking beside the canal on Feb. 9, about 4:30 in the afternoon.

Jen, at a huge ice fall.
Actually, Jen did fall just before the photo was taken. At the base of the fall there was ice too!

Feb. 5 ~ Ski races
This past weekend, The Eastern Canadian XC Ski Championships were held at Nakkertok.
Involving 1,000 skiers and many, many volunteers over three days,
this race attracted people from all parts of Eastern Canada.
Most impressive was this blind skier, being voice-guided by her guide.
The guide wore a mike and a back speaker, to call the trail ahead. Because I took this photo at the finish line, it was flat and straight. The rest of the course, was hilly, twisty and steep!

Feb. 2 ~ Triathlon
Today was the Thirtieth Annual Winterlude triathlon!
I have participated in 28 of them, missing two due to leg injuries.
As you can see, today I finished in just under two hours, much to my delight!
Being the oldest women in the event, and the only one over 60, I won my age category!
Thanks to Bob, my support crew and guest photographer.
And yes, it was -16 at the race start!

Feb. 1 ~ Coconuts
I'm always amused to see coconuts growing.
They are rather artistic, with variations of shape, colour and groupings.
But it ia the funny yellow, needle-y things that entertain me the most!
(I'm easily amused!)
