A mid-morning photowalk with a couple Flickr/Twitter friends. We met up at an old church cemetery in North Waterloo. It was cold, like -15 degrees Celsius. I was only out shooting for half an hour when my toes starting going numb in my boots. Crazy! The other guys were there for an hour and by 9am, we decided to book it to Tim Hortons.
The oldest headstone I saw was from the 1700s. Just amazing to see them still standing in this yard, somewhat legible. I definitely want to go back in the summer for a green grass contrast.
I processed my photos with a cold tone and black & white; I think it suits the theme of these images.

I was sure that January was going to be a slow month for me for photography. Not so!
I had the opportunity to meet up with an old friend and her husband of now three years! Lucky for them, they exchanged vows in sunny Cuba and not in the cold of Canadian winters :-)
We walked around Victoria Park in Kitchener for about an hour – it was really cold!
Here’s a sneak peek photo. I hope to unveil the rest of the photos by the end of today! (So check back if you’d like!)
My cousin brought a pointsettia plant to my parents last weekend. Since the sun was still out when I went to visit them, I was able to utilize that natural light to capture a few images. This star was dancing atop the plant, and against the snowy background, it really pops.
I’ve found I really like Christmas decorations this year, but just for shooting photographs of them! My husband & I really only have a tree as a decoration in our home. Decorations are pretty to look at, some of them sparkle and are just a reminder of what a beautiful time of year this really is, despite the cold weather. :-)
Kitchener-Waterloo received a dumping of nearly 20cms of snow over the weekend!!
It is a winter wonderland out there – unfortunately the sun goes down way too fast and I wasn’t able to capture more images today. Hopefully tomorrow!
I think this snow is here to stay now, unlike the snowfall back on October 29th – that had melted by lunchtime :-)
On March 1, 2007 Ontario was hit with a pretty bad ice storm. The next day when I arrived at work, I pulled into a parking spot and this car had been there all night!
I often wonder how long it took the owner to chip their way into the vehicle…
This photo has been viewed 585 on Flickr since I uploaded it, so I thought I would share it with my blog readers :-)
It’s photos like these that make me actually want winter to return! (What the heck is wrong with me!)
There are a few more images from that storm you can view by clicking on the image above :-)
