Just a few pictures taken in December.
Here is Hannah after a treasure hunt in the snow. She is so proud of herself when she finds a ball buried in the snow, left behind by another dog. This wasn't a successful day, but she still had fun. Then we had to go home and jump in the tub so I could de-ice her. Even with her awful schnauzer cut she doesn't mind the cold down to about -20 C, and she just adores fresh powder.
Our house early in December when I was working on my snow mountains out front. I have become an expert snow shoveler.
The Bow River just south of Prince's Island, north of downtown. They scraped the snow away and set up an ice rink.
Rolo doesn't cycle these days, but has a driver. He's taken here and left to climb down the hill, ford the river, wade through the snow and ice, uphill both ways, in the wind, barefoot...
The shadows on the horizon are the mountains out west.
