Well, we where back into the cold today with a high temperature of only 33°F and a north west wind that was gusting up to about 45 MPH.
Tonight's forecast is calling for snow showers this evening. Becoming clear later. Low around 5°F and Winds NW at 10 to 20 mph.
We haven't had much snow lately, two more on the way ... so excited!! Enlarge to see the snow flakes, have a lovely week everyone!!
For the weekly theme whither the weather. Both in C (what we use here in Canada and in F for those south of our boarder and other places that still use the F scale).
I know it’s a screenshot and not a photograph per say but, I don’t see myself heading outdoors to take my photo a day so I can do other things on my "list of things to do that I am procrastinating about" . So, with tthat this will be my "photo a day" for today in retrospect - after all, I am looking at this 365 as a photographic diary of sorts for me.
As it’s supposed to “warm up” starting tomorrow until Wednesday with temperature highs of -10 or so. Oooo almost beach weather. … Not!!! But, I will be back outdoors to take some photos no doubt.
I see pintails do this every winter when it gets cold. Cracks me up every time. Effective however. They are trapping air between the feathers to increase insulation and hold in body heat.

Winter trees and blue sky, oh and a dash of snow to add to the scene. We had a week of snow, not bad for this area as the last decent snow we had was back in February 2018.

A few panoramas taken this afternoon of West Pond and our Mackerel Sky, it was bright and sunny today but the temperature never got over 25°F, most of the morning we where in the teens, the cold weather seems to have made a return.
There is something odd about olive trees in the snow.
Greetings my friends. Wishing you a happy and joyful Sunday. Hope you have a great day.
Have fun and take care.
Warm and kind regards Ross

We had a rather windy and cold day with snow showers off and on throughout the day, that is not virga falling from the clouds but ice pellets and or snow.
We get wickedly cold temperatures here in Edmonton.
Here is a shot of Whitecourt, Alberta, at nearly -40C which is the same thing as 40F below. Any way you measure this temperature, it is nasty.
But somehow, the residents of Alberta survive these sub-zero temps, as did their pioneer relatives in the past.
And just how did the pioneers manage that?
I would like to know.

Getting close to the end of my novel, Martha's Vine. And all is going very well. In the second book, Martha's world must cope with the increasing reality of living in cold temperatures without power.
I did, when after snapping this I had to get up from lying down in 80cm deep very very soft snow.
(this is uncropped at 35mm - so I was close enough to hear the chuckles particularly well)
Amidst a snowy landscape, two Przewalski’s horses stand resilient, their thick winter coats blending with the frosty surroundings. These rare and ancient wild horses, once extinct in the wild, now roam freely again thanks to conservation efforts. Their striking features and sturdy build showcase their adaptability to harsh conditions, a testament to nature’s enduring spirit and beauty.
Close-Up of frost crystals coating a wooden post during a cold spell in Cumbria, UK. Little jewels of ice sparkling in the light, so intricate close up! I used extension rings on a Nikon 50mm 1.8 to enable me to play with macrophotography one frosty morning this winter!

The Parc National des Pyrénées is a national park located within the French départements of Hautes-Pyrénées and here above the Pyrénées-Atlantiques. Located along the border of France and Spain is a scenic and mountainous landscape offering a variety of outdoor activities including hiking, skiing, mountain climbing and observing wildlife. According to the Pyrénées National Park website, the park, created in 1967, is a natural heritage without barriers or fences where animals are totally free. Devoted to preserving biodiversity and landscapes, studying wildlife and plant species, the park is home to 70 different species of animals. Animals like: ermine, stoat, bear, desman, pine marten, wild boar, fox, lammergaier or bearded vulture etc. Only the bear's situation is worrying, their numbers have been steadily declining for the last 30 years only 6 individuals left today. The eastern portion of the national park forms part of the French section of the Pyrénées - Mont Perdu World Heritage Site that straddles the border between France and Spain. The oceanic influence gives the French, Northern slopes a mild and humid climate while the Southern winds give the Spanish slopes an arid look.
Photo taken at the Parc National des Pyrénées - Mountain Range of Atlantiques, France. We were high up in the Pyrenees at the mountain stream Gave de Bious above at elevation of 1241 meter. A location 3 km from the mountain pass Portalet d'Aneu and border crossing in the Pyrenees, between France and Spain.
Parc national des Pyrénées is een nationaal park in de Franse departementen Hautes-Pyrénées en hierboven de Pyrénées-Atlantiques. Dit berg- en schilderachtige landschap bevindt zich op de Frans-Spaanse grens en biedt een heel scala aan buitenactiviteiten zoals wandelen, skiën, bergbeklimmen en het bestuderen van de fauna. Volgens de website van het nationaal park Pyrénées is het park, opgericht in 1967, een natuurlijk leefgebied zonder belemmeringen en hekken voor dieren zodat ze kunnen gaan en staan waar ze maar willen. Door de toewijding om biodiversiteit en landschappen te behouden alsook het bestuderen van wilde dieren en verschillende soorten planten is het park het thuis voor 70 verschillende soorten dieren. In de Pyreneeën komen nog bruine beren voor maar flink afgenomen de laatste 30 jaar. Volgens de laatste gegevens zijn er nog maar 6 over, meestal op de rand van het hoogste punt. Dit gebied deelt de bruine beer met marmotten, Pyreneese antilopen, sneeuwpatrijzen en watermollen. De watermol wordt ook wel de Pyreneese Desman genoemd en is een nachtdier met zwemvliezen en een spitse snuit. Het is één van de zeldzame diersoorten die alleen in Frankrijk voor komen. Op hogere hoogte leven ook de gems en de steenbok. Naast de vale en de Egyptische gier is de Pyreneeën ook de woonplaats van Europees grootste gier; de lammergier. Deze roofvogel heeft een vleugelwijdte tot drie meter. Deze dieren zijn buiten Afrika alleen in de Pyreneeën te zien. Ook kunt u in het park meer dan 1200 soorten flora aanschouwen, daaronder voornamelijk de lis, de valeriaan, de affodil en de Ramunde. Dit is een bijzonder stukje wereld waar u met respect voor de natuur, naar mag kijken. Honderden kilometers gemarkeerde voetpaden komen samen bij vele berghutten waar u, tijdens uw bergwandelingen, zelfs kunt overnachten. Overal in het water van de rivieren, de bergmeren, en de beekjes ziet u bronnen van leven. Er is een informatiecentrum over het Nationale Park aanwezig, om aan het publiek de rijkdommen van de natuur te laten zien en iedereen te overtuigen dat dit alles behouden moet blijven.
5th and penultimate image from my recent trip to Scotland, This little boat anchored on the waters of Loch Long just near the village of Arrochar at the foot of the Cobbler mountain, braved the elements with me as I took a soaking!

This bull moose made an appearance just as the was setting. He was on a mission looking for potential mates

Every once in awhile the coals build up in the wood stove and I have to let them burn down before I can put any more wood into the stove, such was the case last night, the flames are from a piece of bark that I threw in on top of the coals.
Guess I'm going to have to clean the stove out tomorrow, the temperature is supposed to get up into the mid 40's, a perfect day for cleaning out the stove. (:>)
