No.304: Frosty

This was actually taken two days earlier.  It has continued to be quite warm.  Every day without snow in November feels like a gift.

No.300: Fall Leaves

We have a large willow tree in our backyard.  

No.295: Fall Leaves

The trees around our house are being stubborn.  Despite a couple of freezing frosts they are still holding on.  In fact last night was the first snowfall.  It had melted by midday, but these guys are ignoring it.  They've decided to stick around a little longer.

No.229: Ornamental Grass

The Agronomist asked me to take pictures of the grasses at the Quebec City Aquarium.  The grounds were beautifully landscaped and we wanted to get some ideas for our own yard.

No.193: Cousins

A beautiful evening spent with family at a local campsite.  

Reminder to self: We need to get the salmon recipe and the greek bean salad recipe.

No.105: Dried Pods

I was looking for signs of spring in the backyard.  But I only found remnants of last year.

No.100: Daisies And Leaves

I like to try taking pictures from unusual perspectives.  I love the way this turned out.  A Thumbelina point of view.

It feels as though spring is taking it's time.  See the snow in the top corner.  I was out looking for buds, but this was all I could find.

No.48: Thaw

We've been having some warm weather, and the snow is melting.  While the girls were building a snowman, I took a few pictures of this leaf peeking out from the ice.  You can see the snowman on tomorrow's blog.

No.25: Prairie Sky

On our drive home from the farm The Agronomist agreed to stop so that I could take this picture.  This is the Prairie sky we both grew up with, and love.

No.22: Leaves

It has been dull and overcast for a few days here.  I need sunshine, not heat, just sunshine.  These leaves were cold, they were shivering.   I was cold while taking this picture, I was shivering.  I cannot believe between the two I was able to focus.  I am looking forward to spring.

No.8: Night Sky

These trees were being illuminated by a fire pit as well as four flood lights that circled  around a back yard skating rink.  The effect was amazing.  I was using my action setting with no flash on a mini tripod in the snow.  I couldn't believe how it captured the night sky.
