Both my cut #tulips and potted #orchid seem to be touched with the colour of the #sun this bright winter morning--such a pleasure to have indoors on a cold day! #flowers #winter #indoors #morning

#Tulips arrived with the groceries last evening! Aren't they delightful? As though kissed by the #sun--and in January!!! #blooms #flowers #yellow #photos

#Snow has made it like black and white filter work outside the window this morning! #branches #snowcover #snowscape

Apparently this sculpture which I made with my husband back in the 1980s got some publicity in an on-line newspaper---Saint John Today--back on Wednesday, It is made of porcelain and ciment fondu .-- it hangs at Market Square Convention Center #public #art #sculpture

I wonder what it is like down beside the sea this foggy morning. This was back in 2018--taken with the big tablet and its great view finder! #fog #mist #seashore #JanuaryThaw #photos #beach #sand #shore

Nommmmmmm--- I raided the freezer for our lunch today---wee Ukrainian dumplings are so good--and so quick to prepare with seasoned butter! #frozen #dumplings #meaty #Ukrainian #perogies #butter

Longing to drive the shore road to St Martins on such a clear winter day! #seashore #winterscape #snowscape #views #shoreroad #photos

My breakfast companion digs for fallen apples by smell--her eyes completely covered by the well trampled snow! #deer #food #breakfast #apples #doe #snow

Holiday tradition: King Arthur Baking Star Bread from @kingarthurbaking.bsky.social Tender yeasted dough layered with basil, cilantro & jalapeño pesto-chutney—herby, fresh, a little spicy. Twisted into a star, baked golden, pulled apart while still warm. Bread as celebration. #food 🍜🍽️ #starbread

What a joy to have my first orchid bloom this frigid sunny winter day---and it is the beautiful yellow one--hooray! #flower #winter #orchid #sunshine #joy #photo #favorite

ROCKET on the top at a pub!!!! Canada is tooo far from Finland!!!!

White-out landscape makes me long for open water---puddles--reflections. Bored with #snow-scapes after only 5 days! #water #reflections #yearning #spring

There was a pair of cardinals in and out of the plum thicket--but I could only get a shot of the lovely male. Snow covered thicket is like an #igloo --good shelter for them to nest inside! #birds #cardinal #snow #red #colour #branches

Fur coated solar collector this cold January day--sunshine again has some warmth Millie says! #cats #solar-collectors #cold #pets #photo #adorable

Nesting pair!!! So snowy---so cold! We are a safe place to rest. #rest #snow #cold #deer #does #deer-room

I woke this morning to the sight of what I thought was a massive fire on the forested hills across the river. I almost dialed a 911 to report it but it sank quickly into the hills that full orange moon set that jolted me awake

A foot of snow last night I don't know where to point the camera in an unfamiliar world! #snowscape #snowfall #camera #photos

#Winter finally locks us in--- #snowfall on and on--like layers to last and last. #snow #branches #lasting

HAPPY NEW YEAR in just under 7 hours! My mom snapped this of me with her Kodak 1---I put the social media frame on it!

It's freezing this morning---but last night's rain or snow showers did not freeze on tree branches or wires here--and our power was not interrupted---how grateful we are for that! #freezing-rain #storm #power #outages

Millie-cat taking part in the annual Xmas Bird Count---I swear she counted every one! #cat #birds #birdwatching #counting #sharpeyes

A hard sight to see---especially on Xmas Eve--this beautiful little buck, I photographed earlier in the fall--today limping terribly with an injured front leg! #sad #tears #injury

Dim sun is not the dumplings--no (different spelling)---it is the thing we have instead of sunshine on these ---the shortest days---ohhhh sighhhh!

Neighbour---there are 7 of you---too many! #squirrels

And a happy solstice to all. 8,500 at Stonehenge to see the light return.

We look out on the dreariest of #Solstice mornings in New Brunswick--but it IS above #freezing --that brightens our thoughts! #light #bright #darkness #shortday

Rain has begun with what feels like intentions of the strong winds---fingers crossed that the power system can handle it tonight! #rainstorm #wind #downpour #storm #window

Our son brought his adorable little Ellie-dog to visit us this day--a few years ago. She wouldn't leave without my taking her #photo---she knew--still knows--she is one #cute little #dog! #dogphotos #pooch #adorable

This plate makes my appetite sparkle!!

One we grew ourselves---decorated with #ornament #souvenirs of a century of family joys---the other comes out of a box balls n,all---and #twinkles from its optic fiber branch tips---guess which tree got put up this year! OK we did hang the blingy #star from the ceiling!

This feels so 70's retro! Our #poster faces #photos #camera #trendy

Sweet #Sweet Millie greets you on a #Caturday #cats #pet #affection

I heard it as I looked---a song I re4member always--especially when their season is past! "Burbling" song my son called it!

How wonderful I find that!

#Snow in the woods is deep this cold day--yet #deer linger there--in #sunny sheltered places--I spot them by their movement! #DeerRooms #DeerPaths
