You can say any fool thing to a dog, and the dog will give you this look that says, `My God, you're RIGHT! I NEVER would've thought of that!

Stevie Y built a good team. Now lets hope we can beat the USA on Sunday or we will never hear the end of it. GO CANADA GO! I couldn't find him in his Team Canada jersey bobble-head so you all have to deal with the Red Wings version.

Ooooooooooooo pretty birds!

I thought Red Tailed Hawks were my nemesis but turns out the real elusive bird through my lens was the Cardinal! Skylar may sure I crossed that off my list of things to shoot today! I also scored a Woodpecker!

For those interested there are more shots from this evening. I could of filled this blog for 40 days and 40 nights with pics from tonight and these are just my chosen few.

"Oh the weather outside is weather. . ."

Its a winter wonderland out there! I realized today that the older we get the more we dislike the snow. Remember when we were young and everyone would pray for snow days, throw on their snow suits and play in the fresh powder until we were soaked to the bone? Tobogganing? Snowmen? Snow angels? Snow forts? Snowball fights? Don't tell me we have gotten too old to enjoy such pleasures?

Do yourself a favour when you wake up or get off work tomorrow; call your friends, grab a toboggan and find the biggest snow covered hill you can find. Climb to to top, breath in the crisp air and hurl yourself down. While the breeze blows threw your hair remember the days when things were simpler and the sight of snow brought joy to your face and not a furrow to your brow.

Back when I was doing Dundas week and I was taking pics of my old elementary school, the caretaker was outside having a smoke and asked what I was up to. I told him I was a photographer, about my blog, and how I was capturing Dundas and what better place to start then were I grew up. He thought that was awesome and offered for me to roam the halls of my old school and shoot some pics. It was pretty hit or miss shooting in the school and my time was cut short when the other caretaker didn't think it was such a good idea that I was in there. I told her respectfully that I wasn't trying to get anyone in trouble and was invited in, but she was having none of it. So I thanked one caretaker and apologized to another and was on my way. I wish I could have spent more time in there, especially since there were new additions to the school that I really wanted to explore. I think that these pics will definitely spark a few memories in my friends heads and even remind others of their elementary school days.

A book is the only place in which you can examine a fragile thought without breaking it, or explore an explosive idea without fear it will go off in your face. It is one of the few havens remaining where a man's mind can get both provocation and privacy.

Skylar woke me up out of a drunken slumber to see if i wanted to go shoot at Mountsberg Bird Sanctuary. In my hung over haze i accepted his offer, hung up the phone and immediately regretted my decision . So i dragged my ass out of bed and good thing I did because fresh air is a wonderful hangover cure.

Now I have shot here before for my blog and decided I would take a different approach to my shots this time around. I tried to focus on close ups and try for interesting expressions out of the birds; treat it like I was doing head shots. Enjoy!

My friend Leanne Forrester needed someone to shoot today, I offered my services in exchange for hers. She is also doing a photo a day and posting her pics on Facebook. So no Dundas pics today, but I'm sure there will be many more Dundas excursions to come, I just got sick of shooting snow ahahaha! Thanks for your help today Leanne look forward to seeing what pics you snapped!
