December Collage

Day's End, Year's End

Sunset taken near Long Pond this evening. I made it! A photo a day for 365 days. Keep visiting my blog, I'll be continuing my photo-a-day in 2007.

Rennie's River

Lots of ice in the river, we've had a cold snap, it was -6.8ºC when I was taking these pictures this afternoon. Both pictures taken with a long shutter speed.

Bowring Park

Long Pond

Taken near Long Pond this afternoon, as you can see we've got a little bit of snow and the cold temperature today (-6ºC) is keeping it around.

City Lights

A shot of the parkway looking towards the university taken tonight.

Ocean

A nice sunny day today, we went for a drive to Bauline.

Christmas Day

A busy day today, turkey dinner, gift opening, calls to family and then the big clean up. I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas Day. Here is a different photo of our tree with gifts for the family underneath it. I decided to give it a sepia look.

Christmas Eve

The presents are wrapped and under the tree, the stockings are stuffed, the table is set, the turkey is ready for the oven tomorrow morning. Merry Christmas everyone!

Junco

A little Junco on the deck.

Signal Hill

Signal Hill this morning, temperature of -4ºC, wind-chill of -12ºC. Brrrr!

Night

I took these pictures last night but since I had already posted pictures to my blog I saved them for today.

Winter Macros

We had a bit of snow last night, just a centimetre or two. I took these pictures on a walking trail.

Christmas House

A cute house downtown decorated for Christmas.

Basilica Museum

I went to the Basilica Museum today where they have over 100 nativities from all over the world on Display.

St. John's

I went for a short walk today to an area that overlooks the city. I took several photos and Joe made this panorama out of them. As always, click on the photo for a larger view.

Mickey Ornament

My sister gave me this ornament this year.

Mundy Pond

I walked around Mundy Pond this morning, it was around 7ºC. Pretty well all of the snow has melted, I wonder will we have a green Christmas?

Looking In

Looking in our living room window, it looks like Christmas!

Downtown

Downtown today on a sunny but cold day.

Northern Flicker

This Flicker came to the deck and ate a peanut when the blue jays were getting them. I didn't think a Flicker would eat a peanut, I thought they ate mostly insects. Oh well, I guess when it is -6 and there's snow on the ground a peanut will do.

Layers

Taken at Cuckold's Cove this morning.

Christmas Lights

The first picture was taken in Bowring Park and the 2nd is of Waterford Manor.

The Rooms

The Rooms (art gallery/museum) downtown. I was hoping it would be more lit up with Christmas lights but it wasn't. The poles wrapped with lights don't have much impact.

Shattered

This ornament fell off the tree and shattered when I was decorating the tree, I kept it so I could take pictures of it.

Oh Christmas Tree

It may be a little early for some, but I have my house decorated for Christmas.

Snowman Ornament

One of the many snowman ornaments on my tree.

After the Snow

We had a snowstorm last night and it snowed much of the day. These were taken near Long Pond in the city.

Christmas Surprise

Just being silly.

Angels

My friend wanted me to take a picture of my Willow Tree Angel collection, here they are. I put my Christmas tree up today (not decorated yet) so that made a nice background.

Freezing Rain

Freezing rain today, here is what's left of my flower box.

Christmas is Coming

Christmas is coming and I've wrapped a lot of gifts, I've also received some (of course they will stay wrapped until Christmas morning). This one is from my sister, she always wraps them so nicely.
