It's been cold and spring is late in Toronto this year. I took these on a short walk after work today.

Walking along the Elk River in Fernie BC.

Tide pools on Oahu's North Shore on a lovely calm day, with the 18-135 on my K-3. I used a red filter when I converted it to black and white, made it pop a bit. Still my favorite everyday lens. ƒ/6.3, 115mm, 1/320, iso 125

Entered this in the Seattle Times "My Commute" photo contest earlier this month,
Won!
Got a nice gadget bag (that says Canon on it, need to fix that) and it ran in last Sunday's paper.
Was a pretty nice morning on my way in the early boat from Bainbridge Island. Had to run up on deck and take a few.
Love the versatility of this lens!

I got some nice May powder skiing in this morning with a couple of friends and my go-to ski lens, the 18-135.
So fun we did a couple of laps.

That looks fun, and nice photos! Was this in Colorado? What elevation do you need to go for good snow there this time of the year?

Thanks! Yes, this is in Gunnison County, it's a peak in Taylor Park below Cottonwood Pass called Park Cone. There was snow from about 9500' up. The route is about 2400' vertical with the top half being nice fresh powder (that fell the night before) on a consolidated spring base. Below that it turns to corn and got a little slushy right at the bottom by the Taylor River.
This was North facing and the stuff across the valley facing south was completely melted out so the aspect matters a lot at this elevation and time of year. In a couple of weeks some roads will open that allow us to ski some if the iconic 14ers in the San Juan range which will hold at least some snow all summer. When it opens in the spring there's a nice 3000' zone up to the summits that is usually good spring skiing.

No snow left at 2100' above sea level, somewhere north of Plato, Saskatchewan. Temperature was 31 degrees Celsius (88F). It's an old argument, but I deliberately left this image unmodified, hence the too bright highlights and weak contrast.

Very minimal work in Lightroom got me the following;

One more from Sunday's adventure from near the top of our descent.
