Still hanging on ...

Spring is almost here. Happy Equinox…!! We woke up this morning to +1C, first time we've been above zero in 5 months - the geese will arrive at any moment, so much to celebrate! I hope your weather is equally wonderful! 03/20/19

Riding out....

Found his mitts & off he goes, living his retirement dream. He really loves this machine, the fastest he has ever owned… says he has topped it out at 97 mph, (157 kph) which is just a tad too fast for me. ! He has put on about 4000 km this winter, most of it riding with the local snowmobile club, most of it around the big lakes, going north and also east into the Provincial parks that lead into Ontario. It’s a great way to pass the winter, especially if you don’t mind the cold & you love speed. 03/19/19

You just never know when an alien will come calling… :-) (Hubby heading out for a ride on the snowmobile, looking for his mitts…. ) 03/18/19

Meet Miss Crafty

Now that the snow is higher & packed hard, our smart little lady figured out how to reach the bird feeder, she cleaned it right up before she left. Guess the birds better show up early in the day from now until the snow melts! I do so appreciate all your recent comments, thank you so much! 03/17/19

the road less travelled?

One can’t help but wonder - do the deer stop and ponder which path to take? Are they sometimes paralyzed by the fear of making the wrong choice? Are they more like us than we realize? Or, for them, is it as simple as …. .Mondays we go right, Tuesdays - left, and so on. Life would be so much easier that way, wouldn’t it? 03/16/19

Spring light...

Still thinking of spring …. especially after the wicked weather we had yesterday, although we were lucky and caught only the northern edge of the storm that devastated the U.S., so we got the wind & blowing snow, but not a heavy snowfall. This is another shot of a saskatoon blossom from last spring… offered in celebration of arriving at the half way mark in March. Yay! 03/15/19

Always ready for a car ride

I had a little fun procrossing this. I thought it was a reallly cute shot but it was out of focus with blown out highlights all over the place, so I added some painterly effects to give it a bit of texture instead of clarity and while there… found a few bubbles to add (because Shelby can get a little ‘bubbly’ when she eats too much) … :-)) 03/14/19 ps... the jacket is her winter coat, she can't go anywhere without it, being very much a warm weather pup)

Fashion in sports

It seems that in order to buy a motocycle these days, you must also buy a very colourful new wardrobe, presumably one that matches your new bike. Neither of which we bought... :-) 03/12/19 Some of you have been wondering about the iColorama app - there is no desktop version, it only comes as an app for iPhone, iPad & I'm pretty sure for Android as well.

Two more Indian Motorcycles

Playing in the iColorama app again…. looking for ways to eliminate distracting backgrounds - sometimes it’s mission impossible. These bikes really are a work of art, they are beautiful. Have you seen "The World's Fastest Indian"? It's a great movie - the motorcycles then don't look much like the modern day version, although they have kept some key features.) 03/12/19

Is it spring yet?

Well … no, definitely not. Even so - spring is on everyone’s mind. No flowers outside, but lots to be found inside - even in the grocery store. I know it's definitely not the best of shots, but these are desperate times... :-). 03/11/19 (Thanks for all your comments on the Indian motorcycle shot ... can't help but think about how wonderful it would be to make our dreams come true and have unlimited funds & unlimited energy... lol)

The world famous Indian

Yesterday we went in search of a $20 part for the snowmobile & ended up almost buying one of these beauties. Ever have one of those days? I tried very hard to get it all in my shot, but there were just too many distractions in the upper half,. Hopefully you can still feel the glow from all that delicious chrome…. I’m so grateful for all your views & comments…. thank you! 03/10/19

Colour my world

Went on a mission looking for colour…. 03/09/19

Sweetness

While cuddling on the floor in front of the fire, I caught this quiet moment between these two…. 03/08/19

Spring will look like this

Saskatoon blossoms -our first prolific bloom on the Prairie in the spring. I added a few textures in Topaz Studio, always fun to play arouund in there & see where you end up. 03/07/19
