I have become totally fascinated with all of the huge icicles there are around this year. This house had a particularly large group of them. I don't remember a winter like this one.

Fun Vintage
It is such fun to poke about in a vintage shop and see all the things that you remember from your childhood. This place is a good one for that.

A Popular Bench
This bench in a local park is usually a popular place to sit but it has been unavailable for much of this winter. We are all looking forward to spring by this time of year.
I may not be commenting much for the next week so stay warm. Posts will be up though.

Scene From Past Times
This door was found just along the laneway from the mural I showed last week of the kids playing in a snow storm. It feels to me like a scene that might have been in the lane years ago. The art is Brother Moises again.

Giant Ice
This giant ice formation on a commercial building started out as an icicle hanging from the eaves but as more water melted then refroze it finally reached the ground and has continued to grow. It is quite a sight. The sun has melted the snow on the roof but the air temperatures are so cold this year that it freezes as it drips.

Blending In
I was walking through a local park that has a lot of trees when I heard hammering above me. It took a couple of minutes to locate this Downy Woodpecker which was flitting from side to side in the trees. I never did get a clear shot as it never stayed still for long.

A Community Rink
Members of the community in the Annex neighbourhood create this skating rink each year and the city provides access to water for flooding the surface. Often it only lasts a few weeks but this year it has been so cold that the kids have been skating and playing hockey here for weeks on end. It was looking really good one afternoon this week.
