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:

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.
