The weather has continued to fluctuate lately; the last week has gone as high as +2 and as low as -30. The frigidly cold days practically guarantee sunshine, but warmer days inspire varying degrees of cloud-cover. Of course everybody loves a nice, sunny afternoon, but the gloomier days also bring much to the table in terms of beauty. I took the opportunity to capture some of things in which I found delight of late; I hope you can see it too.
What's around the corner? Not the sun, not today, at least.
The mild weather has reduced the world to black and white, which is a fine contrast
to the bright afternoons during cooler days.
No wind today at the airport; just a light haze.
The sky has a certain romance to it that could never be duplicated by the sun's cheery rays. Poetry in still-motion.

When the sun is away, the frost can come out and play!
Whimsical ice spikes from a flailing meadow weed.
Fishing shacks dot the horizon on the bay, while in the foreground
a shapely tree strikes an elegant pose.
A burnt orange house stands out on a day like today.
The random items flung on the telephone wire are like an eclectic wind chime
or a wanton dream catcher.
A line of frosted pines casts an imposing stance on the hill to guard the edge of the forest.
The ice may not be perfectly flooded, but it is smooth and it is cold.
The same could be said for the tobogganing hill in the distance.
A pick-up game on an outdoor rink in The North; it doesn't get any more Canadian than that!
We're here for a good time, not a long time.
So have a good time, the sun can't shine every day!
