Winter Pics - Part 2

January 2, 9am. Today started off at a chilly -17 C. Brr.


Here are some Mallard ducks on the Scugog. They should really consider travelling to Florida for the winter. Maybe we should all.


Here is a snowplow, ready for action.


My wonderful brother looked forward to my return as he would have someone to share his shovelling responsibilities. Here I am doing my duty, widening the driveway entrance.


Here is my creation, the shovelled path to the front door! I believe the queen is the only one allowed to use this door. The rest of us use the side door. We're ready when you are Lizzy...

Winter Pics - Part 1

Here is the first installment of my Canadian winter pictures. They were taken last week, but there are more to come... we had a snowfall last night, so I'll be doing some shovelling soon.

Here's my parent's house, and the pathway I'll be shovelling.


This is the winter view from my parents' house... that is the Scugog river down below.


Another view of the Scugog from a nearby footbridge.


A rare Canadian site: a miniature bushy tailed black kangaroo taking a winter bath.

Actually, it's just a squirrel. And its eating bird food.

When in Canada, eat Canadian beef, please.
