Turner takes flight!

Yesterday was such a gorgeous day!
Here, a co-worker tosses a ball for his dog, Turner, to fetch.

Must've been playing with all those Tonka trucks as a child...

Surely that explains why I'm so obsessed with pics of construction projects? Bluenose Academy keeps getting bigger and bigger, cheggit.

Stanburne nordic

Winter ain't over yet! Thanks to All Good! submitter David Lindsay for this great self portrait XC shot. Lookin' good, David!
Check out David's recent article about energy wood in Canadian Geographic.

Lunenburg gothic

I like looking at this house on my lunch hour walks. Love that wrap around porch! Yesterday there was this great prop in the front yard so I had to snap a shot.

Of all the gas stations, in all the towns, in all the world...

I was pleasantly surprised to see that the Esso's neon sign actually works! Shot this Friday night. As you can see, a very foggy night in the 'burg.

What is this?

Anyone remember those 'what is this' pictures on the back of Owl magazine? Or was that Chickadee?...at any rate, can you guess what this is?
Hint, it can only happen in the winter...shot at Ski Tuonela last March.

Look up, wayyyy up.

Work continues on the new Lunenburg school, looking good!

At least someone uses safety gear

Wow, he's using his fall arrest harness AND he's clipped in! Spotted him a couple weeks back at the construction site of the new school in Lunenburg .

Oh, there's snow 'up home'

See for yourself. This was shot at Keji two weekends ago, a recent 'recce' of the park this past weekend revealed that there is still plenty of snow inland. XC skiing conditions were excellent!

Is this burning an eternal....

? Sorry to inject that horrid song into your heads.

Shot at Keji last weekend, in the Merrymakedge picnic/'warm up' shelter.

Two stoves blazin' in there, by the time we arrived in the afternoon, it was nice and toasty. Ah, bliss.

Momma and son

My prayers have been answered!!!

We finally have snow down by the shore, and more to come this week. HUZZAH!

Until recently, I had to travel inland to get my snow fix. This video was shot in the hill/field behind my buddy's place. I like how you can see some snow flakes at the beginning.

I tried shooting this one handheld, so I could hold the camera close to the ground.
