Project 365 2.0 ~ Day 5

A Mix of Sun and Cloud.

It was supposed to snow today, but all we got was dark clouds and slushy pavement. In late afternoon the sun peeked out, looking something like this...

Project 365 2.0 ~ Day 4

Smile.

First day back to really working after having a breather over the holidays - too busy to get out with the camera, so stayed in the office and smiled...

Up the Hill...

Today was warm and sunny, and it seemed half the town was sledding in the park.

Starting Over.

Fist day of my 2nd Project 365. The calendar is one I made, with photos I took in 2010. Completes the circle, eh?

Looking @ 2010 ~ Week 52

And the year ends as it begins - with sunshine and snow. Frozen Radar Lake is currently serving as ice rink and snow mobile drag strip. But all was quiet on this afternoon just past Christmas.

Looking @ 2010 ~ Week 51

The lunar eclipse last night was a once in a lifetime occurrence, and and I decided I couldn't miss it. It was very cold - minus 25C before the wind chill, and I went through 3 batteries. At the end my tripod was frozen, my remote froze, and my focus ring didn't want to work. But I got some good shots, and today my 50D is none the worse for wear....

Gold and Silver...

The office is in full holiday mode, and the decorations are lovely. The manager suite has a lovely tree decorated in gold and red. It really is beautiful, and feels very festive.

This white tree with blue ornaments is in the conference room.

Looking @ 2010 ~ Week 49

I received a tiny tree from my Secret Santa this week - only 8 inches tall, with ornaments half the size of ping pong balls. The only thing I could do was pull out the macro lens!

The sunset was amazing this afternoon, and I didn't have my Canon 50D with me. I took these with my iPhone 4, using the Pro HDR app. I ran them through my noise reduction software, and resized them, but that was all the post processing I did. I can't make fun of camera phones anymore!

The colour has faded to black and white outside, but flowers are still blooming in my office. A colleague received a bouquet and I grabbed my macro lens.

Looking @ 2010 ~ Week 44

From the date of the last photo (taken at the beginning of week 43) to the date of this photo (at week 44's end) the rain has given way to snow and ice and the temperature has plunged us into winter. But the hoar frost is beautiful, don't you think?

Last cold rain before the snow sets in. If you look closely, you can see that the rain water is frozen on the last remaining leaf...

Looking @ 2010 ~ Week 41

As the earth turns from yellow and orange to brown and gray, the moon still provides the chance for capturing it's beauty.

Looking @ 2010 ~ Week 40

The leaves have turned and are falling quickly. Autumn in the north is primarily yellow, as the poplar trees outnumber all other deciduous trees by about 10 to 1...
