I'm posting my photos early today simply because I ended up staying up ALL night, working on my e-mail problem - and, after reading a really good article on Google, ended up fixing it myself!! 48 brand new e-mails flowed into my Inbox, some of which I needed to reply to straight away and others I must do today. I had considered going on a walk with friends this morning, but when I turned on my TV and saw that it was -22C, windchill - 28C, I decided that no bird was worth facing that, lol, especially after no sleep. I'd rather go for a short drive to get a break rather than three hours of being exposed to those temperatures : )

Yesterday, later afternoon, I did take a break - drove just a few of the back roads just south of Highway 22X, and took a few winter shots, including the other two images I've posted just now.. Wasn't out for long, but it was just what I needed. As it happened, the trees were covered in white and everywhere looked so pretty. I'd really overdone the mouse-clicking the last few days and my right hand was very painful - including when I tried to pick up a nectarine in Safeways - and couldn't : ) It was definitely time to tear myself away from my keyboard. Actually, I thought it was Thursday all day yesterday, not Wednesday, lol!

Took this photo of a small mushroom at Shannon Terrace, the far west end of Fish Creek Park, on August 30th. Love it when the sunlight falls in just the right part of the forest : )
