This image is not a photographic marvel, but might be of interest for those in other climates. This shows conditions today, Feb 13 2019. The storm wan't quite as major as predicted, but the driveway had already been plowed once and still needs more clearing. It is garbage day, so we are clearing a path to the sidewalk. We are also trying to dig into the snowbank behind Sue as the plow keeps taking less and less of it, thus narrowing the driveway. Neighbours later brought their snowblowers around and cleared the rest of the driveway for us. People tend to get more neighbourly after a storm than at any other time.

This young female couldn't get enough mineral salts from the surface dust, and so knelt down and used her tusk to dig into the soil and loosen it..

New kid on the block, British India Line, digs in to the climb to Aisgill at Waitby, with the second southbound Dalesman charter train of the season, May 8th 2018. The 3 cylinder exhaust beat sounded very crisp, great to hear after all the teething problems!

The eastern one-third of the United States, southern Ontario and Quebec was hit by a nasty "Texas Low" storm between March 2 and March 4, 2023. The intense low-pressure system started in Texas, gained strength from the warm and moist air from the Gulf of Mexico and travelled north and east across the Southern States, then the Eastern Midwest and up to the Southeastern Great Lakes and then part of the New England area.
Depending where one is, heavy rain, strong winds, thunderstorms, tornadoes, sleet/ freezing rain, wet snow, and heavy snow were encountered by millions of people. For us in the Toronto area, we got some 25+ cm (10 inches) of very sticky and wet snow overnight.
Today is my birthday and to say I'm unwell is a bit of an understatement. I have 2 of the children home ill as well as an ill husband. So thought I would have a little look through my archives and this is what I found. I hope you all like it x

Carré exudes innocence. I'd first met her years ago, through a friend, and that was always (having never really had a conversation with her) the impression that I came away with.
But then she joined my stable of models, we had several conversations of increasing depth, and I realized that image of innocence belied a deep reservoir of things far more complex.
And I'd like to think that shows from shoot to shoot, that each time we shoot I get closer and closer to some core truths about her in my photographs.
Which is probably why I enjoy photographing her so much, because every time I do, there's this intent of scratching away at the surface, to get to know her better, to display something more significant in the images.
As they once said in The State, I seek knowledge, and its bastard son, Truth.
Shot of Carré grinning (probably because I am hysterical) up at the blog: blog.louobedlam.com/post/60111487/as-you-may-or-may-not-k...
