A snowy day off

Today's slate of fun events got postponed due to the snow and that's ok. We ended up reading at our favourite cafe (today's photo), eating amazing soup, and then seeing two (one and two, scroll down on the second one) very interesting exhibits at the AGW. I have lots of snowy scenes from today on Flickr but liked the warmth and serenity of this one. On a sort of related note, there is an interesting article from today's Globe and Mail (which is, by the way, featured in the lower left corner of the photo) about ventures like this photo a day blog.

Old Tulips

I bought these cut tulips two weeks ago. They're still hanging on and I think show a different kind of beauty every day. Sometimes we throw things away too fast.

Today's walk by the river

It's been snowy and icy here too. The springy melting sounds have vanished and the banks are thick with ice (more photos on flickr). There are, however, signs of spring in the dozens and dozens of canvasback ducks floating two by two down the river.   If you look closely, you can see them in the middle of the photo.

Icy Stairs

The temperature has been swinging between -15 and +5 C recently so you have to watch your step out there. I hope the birds are okay-yesterday there seemed to be cardinals and crows and sparrows and jays in every tree.

10 cms and still snowing

Before starting work this morning, I dashed out in this snow for a quick photo-snapping stroll.

ARTSCRUSHING

Found or maybe lost art.

Taking a break from theory

After a morning of reading theory, I escaped for a brief walk along the river. I took a number of photos (the rest will be on flickr soon).
