Slightly different, and in colour

It's happening again

But that's okay, I won't complain. It'll be on its way to clouds by Monday. And in the meantime, when it covers everything (and isn't dirty on the roads), it looks pretty...

I thought this was incredibly funny...

... and that I was very clever for photographing it. I often amuse myself with these kinds of things.

Washington, D.C.

Now, this little creature I spotted on the sign directory at the entrance of McGill in Montreal. It's very interesting to watch them move about. I was thrilled to have already discovered my super-macro setting for this. :D

Isn't it fun to see various pigeons in different cities? Baltimore had some interesting ones. And some very thin ones, I might add.

Back in October

And then a little further to the north (left).

Oh! Happiness. :D

snow day

As of 10pm, WNW Littleton (maybe a little ways off from here?) reported 19.0 inches of snow.

I didn't even round that. ;)

More of Montreal

Her name is Clementine, in case you were wondering.

Columbus Day

After posting the last photo, I realized that I do have a photo that goes along with today's holiday! This is a statue of Christopher Columbus in Baltimore, between Little Italy and the Inner Harbor. :)

Building up

Happy Columbus Day! This photo has nothing to do with the day, other than the fact that I am posting this in the middle of the day - because I don't have to work today. Hooray for Columbus Day being a Federal holiday!!

I happened upon this little treasure on my way to work (training) one morning in Baltimore. I'm not sure what it is used for now, and perhaps it was never anything special, but it's a nice piece of history stuck in the middle of the skyscrapers that went up around it.

Yesterday's snow

My poor zinnias are all gone now. :o(

Evil seagull

Inverness, Scotland

I know I've told this story before, but probably not to everyone reading this. So, as you can see, the seagulls are pretty large in the UK. Well, what we have in Colorado are technically just "gulls" because they don't see the sea and maybe that is why they're smaller. Anyway...

One day at work, in London, I noticed this seagull rising in flight to our window, hovering for a bit, and then continually plunging down below (we were on the 3rd floor, or 2nd to the Brits). I distinctly remember thinking it looked very evil too, something about it's eyes... Well, my supervisor went out to lunch and when she returned she told us there was a dead pigeon outside the door on the sidewalk below. Apparently the seagull was preying on the pigeon. Eww. Click on that picture above and look at the eyes of the seagull. They all have this evil look to them (or at least, I think they do).

The light on this morning was just perfect, with a lovely crisp blue sky that made for an excellent background to the autumn colours.
