This weekend was my high school reunion. Typically in the spring the alumni will visit the school and play rugby against the current school team. This year there was not enough alumni to make a complete team so the students divided themselves up to help the alumni.

Today i had to be on the road, again. On my way back to Ottawa I stopped at a place i've passed many times. This is a spot that only catches the eye when driving west. I drove right past it and had to circle back. What catches the eye is after many kilometers of just looking at fields of white snow, all of a sudden there is yellow. I've only noticed this contrast in this one particular area.

This was from the start of my walk in Vieux Quebec. The title of this image is why i took the picture. If there had not been snow on the ground i would have included the cobble stone. Then you would not have been able to tell where ground meet wall ... well maybe not. I will have to come back in the summer to try that theory.

Le Massif

2007-12-29T20:20:00.000-05:00

What a fantastic day! It snowed all night and all day! Powder powder powder! For those of you who have never been skiing east of montreal, you dont know what your missing. Le Massif is a really great hill that rivals Tremblant any day. With its own World Cup run and tons of Sous- bois (Glades), steep and long circle runs, le Massif is a must for all avid skiers. Although it snow all day, we did get a little view of the St. Lawrence towards the end of the day.

I apologize for the poor filming but i was just holding the camera at waist level and trying to still ski. At least you get the idea that ... there was no one there!

This is a shot from a few weeks ago. I was originally draw to this plant because it was dead but still retained its shape. Once i was up close, I could not get away from the contrasting colours in the background. The warmth of the background brick against the cool snow. I still decided to focus selectively so that the plant remained the center of focus.
