Haiku Harmony
Mother teamed to Son Melted hearts born in hard snow Trained in harmony Black, tan and white fur Bounding for the trail ahead Played in harmony. Heart wrapped in wool Bright eyes sparkle flecks of ice Warmed in harmony. Lovers on a dog sled We are home wrapped in arms Pulled in harmony.” All text…

Seasons Come … and Seasons Go
On February 3rd, Ottawa experienced the warmest February day on record, reaching nearly 10° Celsius. Then this Tuesday, February 16th, Ottawa had a record for its largest single-day snowfall — over 50cm. Yesterday night I went cross-country skiing. And today, February 20th, while not a record, the season has changed again and with a daytime…

Tails of Ice
Entranced by the colours of these warm ‘cattails’ … or ‘bull-rushes’ as we called them when I grew up. I still remember vividly the effect my childish hoarding of the fall rushes in my father’s shed had one warm day in spring when they all burst back to life and filled the shed and all…
Frozen in Time
As you can tell by this, the fifth in my series (a series that has lots of legs), I’m totally enthralled by what the Ice Storm did to transform the landscape and all that is in it. From the branches with which I started, to a stem of milk weed, to the branch of a…
