People were wondering how Sue would fare in her quest for her seasonal photo. In her 4th return to the bridge to photograph the downriver view, which is more or less eastward, the conditions were right, and she nailed it.
That is pretty grand, and she will return there in the other seasons to try to capture the same scene. But she did get another great photo — below.
I do not have any photos of a similar ilk, but I do have two from town hall that are very Canadian, eh.
While Sue was taking her wonderful photos, I was having coffee with the boys. An old neighbour walked by. As we talked, I grabbed his photo to show Sue. Al is 92 years young. He was having coffee with friends after playing the dobro guitar at the seniors centre. Back when I was trying to learn the fiddle, I jammed with Al a few times, or tried to.
As is out custom, we took a couple of selfies as we roam about.
The previous selfie was quite obviously a car coffee. So, I took one more photo of the tree in front of us by the river. There was just enough snow on the branches to make it more interesting than usual.
If I may show one more while I am at it, because I probably won't have anything to post tomorrow, here is the scene from my den as I have gazed out on many a January morning. So often there is another thin layering of snow on the cars from overnight. While we haven't gotten too many huge dumpings, it all mounts up over time as you see on the roofs and beside the driveway.
It remains cold, but that is typical January weather. February will soon be here, but it usually isn't much better except maybe near the end of the month.
I love the first two photos especially, AC. Frame worthy.
ReplyDeleteWe have some of those signs near buildings in our town by the old Tobacco Warehouses. The city closes the sidewalks near the buildings for falling ice and snow.
ReplyDeleteThose first two shots are just amazing. I do love the tree too. I love the shapes and textures of the branches and the snow.
Looks like it was a good day!
Grand is the word for Sue's photos. Some places have signs warning of falling rocks, not nearly as interesting falling snow!
ReplyDeleteWonderful photographs, all of them.
ReplyDeleteI asked Barry how old he thought your friend was and he immediately said, '90. He's got that 'seen it all' look.'
Very neat photos all! My favorite is the tree. Though your selfies are really close seconds.! And then for a third, I vote for the view from your window!
ReplyDeleteI think I may venture out this afternoon to see if I can get some pics of anything interesting. I love Sue's pics.
ReplyDeleteWow! Sue did nail these photos. They are stunning. Yours appeal to me as well. All great shots. Nice to have run into an old friend. 92 and still going strong. I do enjoy the selfies. Have a nice day today.
ReplyDeleteSue's photos are amazing, she really succeeded! Glad you had a nice car coffee :). I like scenes from your den, a fellow window gazer.
ReplyDeleteThose snowy trees are magnificent. Coffee dates are one of my favorite events! I'm happy that Sue and you are getting out and enjoying January, in spite of the weather.
