Late Winter Snow Storm


Waking up to a scene like this reminds me that winter can be incredibly beautiful. This winter has been a strange one as here in the western foothills we have missed most of the snowstorms that have hugged the coastline. But this week we've been getting some late winter snow that is heavy and wet and sticks to the trees to create classic winter scenery. No doubt snowmobilers will get out and enjoy the new snow. Have fun and be safe.

Quiet Time


Now that the holdiays are but a fading memory and we know that the ground hog has seen his shadow we are resigned to six more weeks of winter. It's pretty quiet here in Bridgton. A lot of the snow was washed away by a rain storm and we haven't had any new snow foir weeks. I rather miss the buzz of the snowmobiles outside my window. I've been doing some artwork but not as much photography as I hoped, it's too cold to go outside in search of things to photograph. I signed up for a digital camera class but the instructor had to have emergency surgery so the class is postponed for now. I am looking forward to the class starting up soon.
