Harbourfront

A few photos taken along the harbourfront around noon today, yes it was snowing again.

Evening Meal

I'm no Rock Recipes, in fact I don't really enjoy cooking. But here is what I had for supper this evening. Honey glazed carrots, long grain & wild rice and baked salmon.

Downtown

Downtown St. John's on a sunny but cold day. OK, I confess, these were taken yesterday morning. But it's been snowing and blowing most all day and I didn't go out.

Butterflies

The butterflies are back at the greenhouse in Bowring Park. Last year the insectarium in Deer Lake brought hundreds of butterflies to St. John's and they've done it again this year. I took tons of pictures this morning, it was hard choosing which ones to show, so I went with a variety.

Tufted Ducks

Male and female tufted ducks at Quidi Vidi Lake.

Clear Day

A lovely clear day today but cold!!! I went for a short walk in the woods on snowshoes. I was hoping to find a geocache but I guess it was covered in the snow. Snowshoeing, trying to follow a gps and take pictures is not very easy.

Black Capped Chickadee

I try to keep the bird feeders filled in the winter. When I do I am rewarded with visits from chickadees, juncos, goldfinches, flickers and blue jays.

Happy Easter

Kenny's Pond

In between cleaning and cooking for Easter dinner tomorrow, I managed to get out for a quick walk around Kenny's Pond this afternoon as it started to clear off. Well, as quick as you can go when you have to walk in other people's footprints in the snow.

Good Friday

After the Rain

We had a lot of freezing rain yesterday and everything on higher ground is still iced over.

Easter is Coming

I said you'd be seeing more of this bunny before Easter.

Snow and Freezing Rain

We got over 40cm of snow and 10mm of freezing rain since yesterday afternoon.

St. Patrick's Day

We're having a snowstorm. Not much green around here today.

Snow Drift

I apologize for the crappy photo. It was stormy today and I did not get out.

Home Sweet Home

It is nice to travel but it is always nice to come home.

Canada's Terrain

We flew home today. I didn't get any pictures of the Rockies because of cloud cover but I did get some cool aerial photos. I love the patterns in the land and the shadows from the clouds. The 2nd photo is of Lake Manitoba and the 3rd photo is Regina, Saskatchewan. It's just plunked there right in the middle of the prairies.
