nice series Norm. i really like the Blasted rock shot. It's nice to see what snow looks like as well .This has been the strangest winter on record in toronto. I've pulled out my shovel exactly 3 times for the sidewalk and could just as easily have used a broom

OK, now you're just rubbing it in....

But hey, if you're missing the snow, we have a little cabin out the back... you can camp out, heat with wood, get up in the night to restock the fire to keep from freezing to death, and shovel all the snow you want during the day. 400 feet of driveway and a huge parking lot.

Sleep in the reddish brown thing... shovel the white stuff, what an opportunity, eh?



Look at all the snow on the top of that building, someone needs to get up there and shovel that.

tempting as that is I think I'll save my vacation dollars for a trip to Madrid and London in the fall
If I was 22 instead of 52 I might have taken you up on it (400 feet of driveway shoveling now would probably have me in an air ambulance headed back to Toronto for heart surgery ) - the roof i think I could manage without a problem (I have to do mine most winters it's a flat roof far more prone to problems with heavy snowfall and ice)

I'm 63 Eddie, you're just a young whipper snapper, the proverbial spring chicken, a babe in the woods... if you were to come up I'd have to check to see if you washed behind your ears...wait till you get to be my age, you'll know what old is....

I love the 'More Bog' photo. All are very nicely done.

It's been a couple of years since I hiked any of the trails in algonquin, but I've never done it in the winter.....I might have to reconsider that now

Thanks for posting!
