Flying Quickly Nowhere

I looked outside during the storm today and saw this little fellow flying so quickly nowhere! I forgot to get him in before winter arrived and so he's stuck in the frozen flower barrel with all the other sticks and twigs.

Quite a busy intersection of sorts...

Such a cold and icy scene

The main railway line through Guelph runs above one of our busy roads which runs above the roaring Speed River as it tumbles down a slope where it continues it's flow southward.

Remembering Guelph's War Heroes

Remembering our Dead

I drove past the Cenotaph this evening and there are still wreaths there from November 11, Remembrance Day.

It's actually quite touching to read the inscriptions.

Blowing the Snow!

A Kind Neighbour

When it snows heavily, we have to dig but when a neighbour has a snowblower and is kind enough to do the job for you, that's wonderful.

This is the kind neighbour who keeps my driveway cleared after a heavy snowfall here in Guelph!

Winter Sunset in Elora Gorge...

SUNSET AT ELORA GORGE

Not far from here is a little village named Elora. There's a fantastic gorge there in which flows the Grand River. The Grand River is probably the longest river in this part of Ontario and it flows into Lake Erie, one of the Great Lakes.

When this photo was taken, it was about 5:30 pm and the setting sun was shining so brightly on the higher ground where I was standing but the gorge itself was almost dark. The oak tree's leaves had not fallen off and the sun shining on them made the scene so bright and golden. I must go up there again and take more photos as I really like this area and it's not far away!

"Hats" on the bird feeders!

I was letting my border collie, Geordie, out to "do his business" a little while ago and this is what the bird feeders look like!

For the whole month of December and most of January, we thought that winter had forgotten to visit this city but now it's here--and here with a vengeance.
