The moon was a perfect cradle last night with a bright venus directly to the right of it.  The Australians rave about their good star gazing but we can sure rival them some nights!

While walking around Deer Lake last Saturday and looking for signs of spring,  I took this photo of a tree which has budded out.  I think it might be some kind of willow.

With our snow fall last week, I found some snowdrops in the snow. 

Unfortunately, another neighbourhood lawn which was a mass of wild blooming pale pink and blue crocus did not photograph well in the snow.
