Day 110 - Nice day if you're a polar bear.

Well today definitely was a first; we had to close the school at 2:00 because of a snow storm AND it's April 20th. We've had to do this process before but never this late in the year. We've had about 15 cm of snow so far and it's not over yet. It was a slow drive home as most people no longer have their winter tires on and were slipping and sliding all over the place. Being a procrastinator actually paid off today as I haven't had the tires changed on the car.
Of course when we got home we had to shovel. I shoveled the deck and then Peg took over for the stairs. I managed to capture the polar bear 'enjoying' the snow. Now I do love polar bears but enough is enough. I want flowers!

Day 87 - Monochrome Polar Bear

Today's assignment was to make a black and white photograph and go monochrome. I was 'bearly' able to complete this assignment today. After searching around the house for possibilities I spied this fellow on the shelf in the office. I like the speckles in the stone and the smoothness of the surface.

Day 1 - Polar Raspberry

Last year we received a gift certificate for a brunch at the Quebec Aquarium. Due to a busy schedule and weather we only just got to use it. We had a lovely brunch and enjoyed visiting the animals. I managed to get a few good shots but this was one of my favourites for two reasons. The obvious one is to show this guy’s got attitude and is adorable. The other is the colour of his tongue. While we were there we learned that Polar Bears have black skin under their white fur. This pic demonstrates that their tongues are black as well.
