With today being the first day of Spring I thought I would show one of my shots of this beautiful loon taken last year. I only got one day with this pairs as it was late in the season when they were discovered by a friend of mine. The lighting was harsh but we did our best. I hope they return this year.
Looking at the weather for the next week it certainly doesnt look like spring at all. A chance of 30cms of snow could fall by the middle of next week. Its been a long winter
Sunrise on the first day of Spring. The shrubs look like they took a beating this past Winter. Not all that cold but it was very dry. The rains have return with more strong thunderstorms forecasted within 48 hours.
A _handheld_ 4-exp focus stack. Not ideal to forget the tripod... Well, I think I managed to get an ok result anyway, without too many distracting artifacts.
fried spring rolls or pritong lumpia is a chinese inspired south east asian food. the filling is made of mung bean sprouts, diced carrots and cabbage, tofu, shrimp and optional pork. the filling is mixed together and slightly sauted in garlic and onion. it is then wrapped in spring roll paper then deep fried, voila , fried spring rolls! the dip is just a combination of vinegar, garlic, fish sauce and crushed chili slightly sweetened with palm syrup.

Another view from Marg and my day on Table Mountain. This was an out and back again photo opportunity-- I shot the views on the way in and shot them from a different perspective on the way back. It's sort of a metaphor for life me thinks. As I get older I travel many of the same paths as in my earlier years, but I see them quite differently now.
There's a big rainstorm coming, so I'm off to batten down the hatches.

A little dabbling with Photoshop - it's been a while.

With high wind and temperature hovering around 1 Celcius it didn't feel at all like a Spring day. However, these crocuses couldn't wait any longer to announce the arrival of Spring. The purple crocus in the park hasn't come out yet - these ones were introduced newly in the park. Downsview Park, Toronto.
