In all the excitement of becoming a Grandfather I put these on Facebook but didn’t post the pictures of my First Grandson – Thomas Christopher Reeves. He’s much cuter in person! And here I am taking pictures of snow in the backyard when I had these to post! Grampa better get with the program. Thomas was about two hours old when these were taken. So far, he seems to like the place. Mom is doing fine.
The wind made these interesting snow shapes in our back yard. Great detail. The time between the first “snow” shot and the second “tree” shot was about three minutes. From the “tree” to the “Cessna” was less than ten seconds. The twin was really moving and I only had time to snap off one picture. The Fz 35 took them all. It’s a great camera.
No this is not a Budwiser commercial and these are not Clydesdales. They are horses though and to a city slicker like myself they are worth the photo op. Ontario hasn’t really had a winter this year. The organizers of “Winterfest” did a great job considering the warm weather. I never thought I would have a bad word to say about a snowless winter but it’s a bit “creepy”. Good “creepy” but creepy just the same.
There is something liberating about kites. Kites and bikes truth be told. Colourful, pleasing to the eye, not overly expensive and pleasant to use, both are only beneficial to man. Even syllables aren’t wasted in their description. Kites and bikes bring up another single syllable word to my mind. Peace.
Two shots of the same kite. A lot of thought and design went into this one.
Some of the best shots aren’t planned they are just taken.
The trolly to Fisherman’s Wharf. This was as close to a San Franciscan trolly as we got. This was not one of the trollies that are famous for plying the steep hills of the city but it has the same “flavour”. Great place to visit.
This picture was taken during our last trip to California. Should the opportunity to visit the golden state ever present itself again, I think we will go to San Francisco and stay in the area. The weather is just fantastic.
