Fireworks last night across the harbour. For a while it was snowing and really windy, we didn't think the fireworks would go ahead. But they did and it was a great show.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
