Nice blue skies, and greenery all over. Looks like a lovely day for a stroll

We're just a wee bit jealous over here in Southern Ontario: the dreaded Polar Vortex has made an appearance. The past couple of days started at minus 26 degrees, and felt much colder with the wind chill. Winter came in like a lamb for us, but is having the last roar.

A walk around Dean Clough, this time without the wet bits close up..

Beautiful ice crystals

The air is so much clearer in winter, even where you are. Less humidity in the air, I suspect. Better for long distance views.

He kept out of the way.

Foxhill Bank, when the weather was supposed to take a turn for the worst, it didn't though.

Blossoms? Pussy Willows? Some of us over here could get quite jealous

Its all a bit mixed up with the weather, there was a snow warning out (it hasn't yet ) and the temperature is down around zero at times ( I know you get minuses in double figures ), yet flowers and stuff are still trying to get the season started.

A typical winter's day in Southern Ontario: driving to the next town to get some computer stuff. I hardly ever walk when it's this cold and nasty out.
1. Check the Temp. - brisk!
2. Miss Pris is not amused.
3. On the way - a bit of snow.
4. A bit more snow - not much this year, thankfully (so far

)
5. A shelter for children while they wait for the school bus.
6. Another one - looks like a little house!
7. Back to Georgetown. The McGibbon Hotel (built 1861) is going to be replaced by condos for rich mucky-mucks. Bah!
8. Ah - our favourite pub.
9. Just opened - time for a pint

Miss Pris looks as though she is going to strike

She's a bit timid and highly strung, so no fear of that. She's more likely to run off, with a cheeky "Meh!"

An interesting and varied set - great scenery, reflections, history, colourful graffiti, vegetation and a handsome Max

Love the picture of Miss Pris.....she is a very pretty girl, but looks not so happy in the fruit bowl....her ears are a bit down and she looks like she is not very pleased with something.( though all this could be to do with camera angle - though I doubt it)

Thanks Margaret. She's probably fed up with me photographing her all the time, plus the living room isn't very warm these days. That bowl holds onto the cold, I'm sure. A cold bum does not a happy pussy make Hahhah.
