    Great photos, Niamh. I can shoot photos with my camera, but I don't know how to get them onto the computer.... **sigh**. One day, right?

    Anyhow, here are three pictures the depict winter in the Prairies, hope you like 'em:



    ^^ That crazy bench again, but I can't help taking pics of it... ^^





    ^^ A field near my place after the first real snowfall ^^




    ^^ My backyard (took this photo this morning) -- yay one hour photo!! ^^

    Kiz, those pictures look like home. We're leaving tomorrow to spend some time with my parents and I hope to take many pictures like while I'm there. I just hope they have at least a little snow.

    Those are so BEAUTIFUL, Kiz! I'm seriously contemplating saving those on my computer. Gorgeous! I feel a bit jealous, actually!

    Nice pictures Kiz, although you don't seem to have all that much snow in your backyard , lots of tree cover perhaps? Oh....Manitoba, what a great crummy province we are .

    Have fun on your trip, Idril (and yes -- take lots of photos!)

    Lily -- for sure save the pics, I don't mind! The third one is actually my desktop right now.

    TEND, crummy? Not! Gotta love it for all the reasons that I blog about and more... (although the summer mosquitoes can take a hike any time)

    Thanks, B (and loved the pun "cool" pics...)

    I also said it was great! See it didn't come across properly, it's great and crummy, it's good and bad, I think that most Manitobans love and hate the place (especially in Winnipeg). It's a wonderful place to live, but I feel we're very self-depreciative.

    I know exactly what you mean...but Kizo has it right...she finds the beauty in the everyday things...I love the way you both think. Cheers. B

    We know all about that tendency here in ND as well. There are many things I love about this place but I still feel the need to apologize for living here.
