Another Post of Bits and Pieces.

A mix of weather, although I see that most of these pictures have been taken in sunshine.  It remains ridiculously mild; about -10C at night and plus 2 – 4C in the afternoon.  In the sun it is positively balmy and I often hike without a coat.

Sunrise. Water has started to ooze on top of the ice on the pond:

That same morning, the moon composed itself nicely.

The sun now clears Middle Mountain when it sets.

On a clear evening, the light is superb

But sometimes there is a bit of fog.

There is not much snow, but the shadows are pretty.

Last Saturday the Tatla Lake annual ski competitions were held.  Competitors ere of all ages.

There was a tea-boiling competition.

And people just came to socialize.

On yesterday’s hike I was entertained by a pileated woodpecker.  I don’t see them that often here.  This guy was checking the resonance out on every branch on every snag.  Hi drum rolls followed me all afternoon.

  1. I just finished reading “Ginty’s Ghost” and thoroughly enjoyed it. I am in awe of your resilience and zeal for life! You are definitely in a minority as far as life style and definitely in a minority as someone who lives their life to the fullest!
    I am glad that you are able to now enjoy your new home all year long and look forward to all your projects as you continue on…And yes as the man above says “Fantastic Pictures Chris!”
