Spring has sprung The grass has riz. I wonder where the flowers is? Of course I took these photos just before we got 3 inches of snow. But that is the norm in many parts of Canada. The bad thing is when it happens in May or June..
Now for the obligatory Ellie photo:
.. to the Owen Sound Camera Club. It was my first time visiting the club and I really enjoyed it. That night they were taking submissions for a regional photography competition and had an empty spot in Nature Macro catagory, and I had a picture that would qualify. So this picture of a bee at an crab apple blossem is going to be judged in April, but I need a title for it. What do you think? Leave me a comment with your idea.
On Saturday I spent some time outside taking some pictures of Snow Camp activities.
This is the entrance to our office, located above the guys dorm. (this picture was from a week ago, there is more snow there now..)
Ice flume.. straight down the hill very fast.
Two of our Korean students showing they have adapted to our Canadian winter. The poor guy in the front got his face covered in snow!
The end of their ride.
High ropes were busy with the zip line and this obstacle course (30 ft in the air!).
Three happy campers at the high ropes course.
“Yoshi” from Japan really has taken to winter here. I wouldn’t even do this..
Down at the creek.
Yoshi even snow boards on our tube hill.
Wipeout during the Cardboard Sled Race!
Something I have never seen before… this is “Wink”, one of the leaders of a youth group that was there that weekend. He was dared to go down the hill, but for whatever reason, he took his jacket and shirt off first. Once his cardboard sled stopped, he started running. It is a very long run back through deep snow to the dorms to get more clothes..
