It feels like it is April!!! The snow is melting, around my area it's almost gone. This does not make me happy because I love snow. By the way things are going we won't have any snow for Christmas. I would really hate that if that would happen, but it won't stop me from haveing a nice time.

The snow is melting during the day, because it is warm. Today it got up to 7°C! That is very warm for this time of year. That is like weather you would expect in early spring.

Another thing is... that it's warm during the day, and there is lots of water, and is very damp, but during the night it gets cold, below freezing, and then all of the water freezes. This makes it slippery in some places.

Anyway, I hope that we get snow sometime soon again, but it does not look like it, according to the Weathern Network (Canada), and their Ottawa Forecast. Also if you look at the 14 day outlook, the weather looks quite warm, although the chart changes a lot. I hope that it changes and gets colder!!!

Here are some pics of the very little bit of snow in our backyard.

This is a picture (a horrible one- sorry) of my backyard. The snow is all wet and melting very fast, and completely gone in some places.

Another photo (a bit better) of my backyard, with only patches of snow.

So that's my little photo post for tonight. I do hope we get some more snow soon! I wish we were living somewhere like Wisconsin, or Alberta where there was lots of snow... like this, or this. We live in Canada... we don't get enough snow, and we get tooo much heat- like in the summer when it gets to a deadly 45°C. All I can say is... I hope for more snow!!!

Today, it is soooo cold and windy, it's crazy! It's been snowing since early this morining, and it's supposed to continue on throughout the day. I like the snow, kind of. It might even stay for a while this time, who knows!

I'm almost done BlueSummerskies Design. I hope very much that I get it done soon. I'm sick today, so I'm staying home from school, so this will give me some time to get some of these done and up and running. Since I'm home today, and I don't really have too much to do, I will be on my computer for most of the day, blogging, and finishing up my little web projects here and there.

One of the biggest winter celebrations have started. Winterlude started yesterday. It's one of Canada's biggest winter celebrations, and it's happening now. Lights, IIce sculptures, Skating on the world's longest skating rink- the Rideau Canal. I've been to Winterlude before, at day and at night and it is really fun, and it looks really nice with the ice sculptures, and lights. Some of tthe ice sculptures even light up. It's really nice.

Anyone around the Ottawa-Gatineau area should go to winterlude... Or if you are on vacation or a trip to ottawa, now is a great time to go!

That's about it!

I wanted to post for all of my readers and anyone visiting this site. Happy Valentine's Day! It's here again, and I completely forgot!! I was going to make some graphics and nice stuff for today, but I forgot. I wanted to wish everone celebrating tonight a very happy night!

The weather here is FREEZING and there is blowing snow, and a lot of new snow on the grownd. I cant wait for the warm weather to come!

We Even have a weather warning by Environment Canada:

March is here now, and it's not very good. It's freezing Rain outside right now. It's quite cold too. Maybe it will warm up again in a few weeks. It looks like the weather is trying to balance itself. Looking at the Weather History on the Weather Channel's website- it looks like it will be warm toward the first week of April- like it was last year. I really do hope so!

I really want to start seeing the green and the flowers here again- right now it is brownish white- because some of the snow go thin, and dirt is coming through. It just looks ugly and boring.

I'm excited for warm weather!!

I know I keep saying I'll post pictures, and they are coming soon!

It's March, and it's FREEZING! Today was very cold. It's supposed to warm up soon, according to the Weather Network. I really hope that they are right, because I'm so sick and tired of the cold, and I really want the warm to get here!

Pictures Coming Soon!

March Break is here! One week vacation with no School! I am so happy about this! I wil be sure to take lots of pictures. The weather here is also supposed to warm up, so maybe more of the snow will be gone after the break. I am soo happy that it's finally here! This is just a quick boring post, to let readers know what's going on. Will Be taking Pics!

It's early, and its already 4°C which is really good. It's going to a high of 8°C,. Tomorrow it's supposed to go to 12°C and rain. The rain will hopefully melt most of the snow. There is already so much snow that is already melted. I am so happy that it's already this warm. I'm hoping for a nice warm summer, like last year. I can't wait to start seeing all the green again. I also cant wait to start taking spring and summer nature photography.

It's so exciting that spring is finally arriving!!! I am so happy! Spring is coming! I will be back taking photos as soon as the trees start budding. I can't wait!

This is really good!! Snow will hopefully be gone soon!!

Spring looks like it is slowly coming. I know that I have not posted any photos here in a while. I barely even post anymore. I have just been very busy with school and other things. I hope to get pictures up soon. When the snow starts melting, and things start looking green again, I will be posting a lot more nature photography. I cant wait for the warm weather to come either.

~Thats all for now!!

The snow has melted completely! The highs for most days are in the high 60's and mid 70's!! (low to mid 20's in °C). I am really happy that winter is over. The trees are starting to bud, and the gardens are starting to grow, so there will be a lot more pictures soon! The nights on some days may get slightly cool, but the days are quite warm, and in May and June, it will get a lot warmer.

It gets cool in the day when it rains, but it warms up again a day or two later. Im really happy with the weather we are getting.

That's all for now!! Pictures are coming soon, but I am really busy. I hope to get them up ASAP.

I'm so behind I still have not uploaded photos that I was supposed to a little over a year ago. Here they are now. This collection of photos were taken in Chelsea, QC, Canada. Most of them are of the Outaouais river and the surrounding autumn scenery. I'm sure that mostly friends and family read this site, but I know that there are also a few others. Whoever you are, I hope that you enjoy these photos!
