At last....

...the sun!  As  brief and fleeting as it was, the encounter was welcome! 

Since I arrived here at my daughter's there has been a noticeable lack of sun...no colourful sunrises or sunsets ... no long, cast shadows...no blue skies..just heavy massive clouds...and a lot of greyness. Except for some interesting and threatening skies, it was not ideal for taking photographs, but I tried..and had fun doing it. 

I spent a lot of time meandering around the ravines, fields and the pond, with camera, enjoying being outdoors in a setting so different from back home in the city. And of course there were some missed photo-ops - a deer, two pheasants, and a coyote...but no matter....it was enough just to see them..It was not until this afternoon when the sun broke through temporarily, that I got the colourful photos I was hoping to get. My favourite shots of the day were taken at the pond...hence, my main.

The rest of the day was spent doing family things with my daughter - drawing up the cottage schedule for next year, finishing up the family calendar and getting it sent off for printing, mending a wonderfully soft sweater my son-in-law brought home from New Zealand, and clipping some branches and greenery to take home to make up some outdoor winter urns. It turned out to be a very productive day..a much more productive day than I would had have back home! 

Tonight is relaxation time....and tomorrow I will head home...I am hoping for good weather for the drive..the freeway back to Toronto can hellish at the best of times, let alone in rain or snow!
