warming up after a Friday freeze

I spent an hour not seeing a beaver.

Looking North:

Looking East:

Looking South:

So I went home and exposed:

Overly -

Moderately:

Underly:

Hope everyone is warm and dry.

The Day after the Night before

Minus 15C it was but now it is much hotter:

Snow on the balcony:

That is, inside and out.

The terrace is white - the view around 10am.

(Tudhope Park to the East)

And time to begin my dream of "white water" canoeing:

And the geese are getting fat - they aren't the only beings doing so, unfortunately.

So what does a young man think about after such an event?

I am feeling warmer already.

Give the Lady a nod

A wink is as good as a nod to a blind man. However, I was not alone.

So something for Vicki: Nodding Ladies' Tresses:

 And do a good turn to somebody every day - W O B

testing times: snow at +5C

Actually, I am being tested by a new operating system which is raising my body temp - hence maybe I am causing local warming?

These are former Orillia residents looking out on Lake Couchiching from Tudhope Park.

Back-lit for February. This orchid has been blooming for a couple of months. But this next one had a brief but glorious ending:

A piece of Canadian lore - in January.

Montreal Orchids - black-out

Our friends think I need some cultural enlightenment, probably rightly so. So Vicki and I were taken to the Montreal Orchid Show on Sunday morning for a most interesting occasion - I do not want to use the word time because it did not exist for me for a 2+ hour time warp (how to stay young!). We met  a friend of our hosts, Diana, photographs orchids so Vicki was in her element - Vicki has 3 links from sherwoodonline to
her orchid photographs from Crete, Eifel, and Ontario - and a link to this blog as well.

Here are some of my images:

Vicki does not like it when I cut off people's heads so I guess there are some unsensored images to be explained!

And no, I do not know their names or pedigrees. And it might not interest you to know that I do not know the names of more than a couple of stars and no movies!  wob
