Long Pond

This is Long Pond in the city, it has a nice walking trail around it. As you can see everything is coming into bloom.

Dandelions

Growing where else but on my lawn.

Alpine Wildflower

I drove to a barren hillside today to look for alpine wildflowers. I found some blooming. Boy are they tiny! This is Diapensia Lapponica.

Bauline

A boat in Bauline, a small fishing village, and a lobster trap among dandelions. Bauline is pronounced "ball-een".

Mini Zen Garden

This is a mini zen garden I have on my coffee table. Just a quick shot tonight as it rained all day and I was busy working on my website, then we watched a movie before I realized I didn't have a picture for today. I plan on taking better pictures of the mini zen garden some other time with good lighting.

Springtime in the Park

Bannerman Park today with spring flowers blooming.

Fort Amherst

Fort Amherst at the entrance to the harbour. I took this from the top of Cabot Tower. I've also included a photo that shows how tiny those forget-me-nots are.

Forget-Me-Not

Forget-me-nots growing wild in my back garden.

First Cut

I mowed the grass today for the first time this year. What's the best thing about mowing the lawn? The smell of newly cut grass or the satisfaction of running over dandelions?

Scrabble

Does anyone else love to play Scrabble? I do but I usually can't get anyone to play with me (they won't play Boggle with me either....seems I am too good at it!)

Lamp Light

A corner in my living room. It rained all day so I did not get out to take pictures.

Bay Bulls

A view in Bay Bulls today.

Logy Bay

Logy Bay today near the Ocean Sciences Centre. The temperature was 9 degrees but it was windy and there was a bit of fog hanging around and I could see my breath at times.

Tulips

Tulips in the park on a drizzly day.

Fog on the Pond

A rainy, foggy day today, this picture shows how grey and dull it was (it was cold too).

My Brother

This is my (baby) brother, a new constable in the RCMP. He's here in the city doing some extra training for a few days.

Tapper's Cove, Torbay

A beautiful warm day today, I took some pictures of the crashing waves at Tapper's Cove in Torbay and walked up the hill on part of the walking trail to get more pictures.

Confederation Building

The Confederation Building taken from behind the Marine Institue.

Crow

A crow in the back garden stealing peanuts I put out for the blue jays. He looks evil.
