Remembering winter

Just noticed that there is a Deer walking on the hillside, just up and to the right of the cupola on the barn roof.
On 24 February 2018, I made the most of a sunny day and went for a 3-hour walk at Griffith Woods with friends. After going for lunch with friend, Darlene, I went for a long drive NW of the city, as I was already half way there. A drive that turned out to be very unrewarding, especially photo-wise.
My hope was to maybe find a Short-eared Owl perched on a nice, close fence post : ) Absolutely nothing, not even a distant owl in flight, like friends and I saw the other day. I did see the same huge flock of roughly 5,000 Snow Buntings in the same place. Still didn't manage to get a sharp photo of them, as I was having to shoot through the windshield.
By the time I arrived back home, not long before it was dark, I was so tired out. Almost every inch of my poor old body was in pain and I could barely stay awake. However, it was a good feeling to be in such beautiful scenery again. Apart from a few days ago, I hadn't been up in that area for a long time.

Our high temperature today is expected to be PLUS 1C (windchill -8C) with roughly the same for the next four days - and then the snow returns yet again. We have had a few beautifully sunny days and yesterday, 24 February 2018, I made the most of it and went for a 3-hour walk at Griffith Woods with friends. After going for lunch with friend, Darlene, I went for a long drive NW of the city, as I was already half way there. A drive that turned out to be very unrewarding, especially photo-wise.

Plain, but welcome

I passed this old barn on my drive and took a quick shot of it. I was so close to going home with an empty memory card after a long, 9-hour day : )
