It is sad to photograph a once grand tree now lying on the ground. The bark has so much depth, detail and character.

Anyone who has followed my blog for a while knows how much I like taking photos of water and ice on windows. I do find it interesting that these images can look so different especially when you change the background.

This is a lichen named Candleflame that grows on a tree outside my work. Apparently, it is a sign of good air quality and it does not harm its host but enjoys a symbiotic relationship.

Usually I look for animal tracks in the snow however seeing this temporary angular display of man made tracks, I could not resist.

A late day view along the Thames River in London, Ontario. I’m pretty sure this is a Black Willow – Salix falcata – a tree that loves wet areas. There are many willows growing along the floodplain of this large river.

The sun rises on a very cold day in Ontario – well pretty much the whole country and the northern US of A. My fingers almost froze within minutes of being outside without gloves yesterday morning but I think it was worth it.

Here’s an image of the Sarnia Road bridge that I posted a detail image of the wires a couple of days ago. This historic bridge – that had been at this location for 102 years – was demolished a few days after I took this shot. Its one lane feature slowed people down a bit and made them be more courteous. Although a grey day when I shot this, I thought I should show you what the whole structure looked like before ‘progress’ decided it was obsolete.
