Sun!

The warm weather today made me think of this sunny shot from last week. Looks like this weekend is shaping up to be a nice one, get out there, folks!

Misty night at the beach

Blissful mist.

Think aliens...

You meet the nicest people at the beach

Sandro, heading in

My kingdom for a bracketed exposure!!!

The clouds were ominous...regretting not attempting bracketed exposures....this one is ripe for some tone mapping...oh well, next time.

Random beach find

Change the venue, and it's 'art'....here, it's just garbage that washed up on the beach.

Hmm, Hirtle's Beach Mixed Media: $1000. Any takers? Sale ends at high tide.

Block 'n' tackle

This is one 'arm' holding up a life raft on the Lahave ferry.

As you can see from the sky it was a glorious day on Saturday!

Hero(es) of Telemark!

A telemark skier heads down the telly hill at Ski Tuonela, shot last weekend.

Sure, you 'could' spend $100+ on skis...

....Or, you could visit your local second hand shop and find a sweet set of skis and poles for 5 bucks!

Bindings by Norweigan manufacturer, Rottefella (literally "The Rat Trap").

I love the write up on the skis, describing the many laminate layers, awesome!

Photo shot at Ski Tuonela last weekend. Have I mentioned it's awesome? ^_^

Snow melting in the morning sun

I was lucky enough to capture this shot of the melting snow, slowly falling off the roof of the main lodge at Ski Tuonela.

Now the people will know we had snow...

The grass might be showing 'down south', but there is still plenty of the white stuff just outside of Baddeck!

This week, I'll be posting pictures from my recent trip to Ski Tuonela. If you love XC, backcountry, telemark skiing and cabin lodging, you MUST check this place out!

The resort is incredible, you will not be dissapointed.

Thanks Chris and Ann, I will be back next season!

Take a walk down the path...

It leads to some big, honkin' waves...

Waves, and then some

First glimpse of the beach and the big, honkin waves that were rolling in on Monday.

More to follow...

Ehem....what happened to my winter!?!

I know, I know, I'm the one of the few who wants it to look like this outside:



I can't help it, I love winter, and I feel like it's been cut short on me!

Sorry for the belated blog post today, and for missing yesterday's post altogether. Fifty lashes with a wet noodle for this blogger!

Stay tuned this week, for pictures of big waves after the recent storm.
