Hate to disappoint even more, but it is a-snowing not in Richmond Hill. (And what happened to the {beer} smily? Eh? Eh?)

Yep well I'm beginning to wonder if I'll ever see green grass again. We have had tonnes more snow than last year here in Red Deer and we certainley had more snow than you Calgaryites before Christmas, even my Canadian Co-workers have had enough of it - pretty as it may be we're all fed up trying to stay upright when walking........WHY don't people shovel their paths like they're supposed too

Thank you, I think.

It was taken on my wedding day, it's actually part of the portrait shot of my wife and I.

It was 11 days before my 22nd birthday.

How are you doing these days? You don't seem to be posting as often.

Of course that was a compliment. You're a very handsome young man!

Doing really well thanks. Just really really busy with work and family for the past month, and jim is away skiing in whistler/Banff for the next week or so, so too much to do and not enough hands.

Take care. Hope you're feeling well steve.

Have a good evening.
Smelly,

Did you get any pics yesterday?

The sun came out and things did look very pretty.

I only got this one as I didn't get out too far though, possible Christmas card material??

It's quite amazing how a bit of sunshine can lift the spirits and make thing look so much better.

Cheers
Steve

Hi Steve,

I only managed to take a couple of pictures as I seem to be having a few technical difficulties with my camera. Its a really old Pentax Optio 430 rs and we bought it about 5years ago. It just keeps just shutting down. I think it needs a new battery.

I am going to try for some more later in the week when it stops snowing again.

Saturday was soo bright also the one that I did take didnt look quiet right.

You picture looks great the sky looks soo blue.
