Sculpture

Chosen, originally uploaded by Ontario Wanderer.

This is one of two of my sculptures that will be in an exhibition at the YouMe Gallery in Hamilton, Ontario starting this weekend. Églantine will have a large painting in the show. I shall attempt to get it posted on this blog tomorrow.

Running

It's a bit frustrating for me that I can no long run like I used to i.e. it took me nearly 2 hours and 30 minutes to run 21 km. On the other hand, several of the people I grew up with and some of the people I taught school with never even lived to see 64 so maybe I don't have that much to complain about. I suspect that many of those people never bothered to train enough to run a half-marathon. Still . . .

On the Way Home

Just returned from a drive of almost 1800 km. For about 400 of those km the road looked a lot like this! Every large truck added more light, fluffy, blinding snow to the scene and sometimes we had 5 or 6 trucks in a row. Only one time was there a fool passing a truck. We were about 6 seconds too late for the head on crash. I am still shaking a bit. Thanks to Églantine for making this memorable photo.

Tiffany Falls

I just put up 12 photos about an ice climb that I saw Friday. Rather than move all of them here, perhaps, if you are interested, you can click on the link to go to my Flickr page to see them there.

Snow Tracks

Yes, there were a few tracks in the snow yesterday. At first, I did not know what these were.


Then, further along I saw these impressions.



Given the wing marks were about 1 metre apart, it had to have been a wild turkey taking off from the deep, fluffy snow. The snow was so dry and fluffy that individual tracks did not show.
