Its a Wonderful World

Do these pictures look as cold as it was when they were taken? It snowed tiny little flakes all day yesterday and this is what accumulated from the snowfall. The snow is powdery and light, and did I mention cold!! 
You can't make a snowball out of it to throw.

When you walk in it, the footsteps make a crunching sound.

It just compacts it down when you drive on it. And if you spun your wheels enough you could make a thin layer of ice.
This is our favorite park to visit in Medicine Hat. To get down to it you have to go down a steep winding long hill, with a drop off if you were so inclined to slide over the side on your way down. 

You can see it is quite deserted out here because most people are too scared or is that too smart to attempt the hill down and then back up again! 

The Sand cliffs across the water from Echodale park. The geese flying over the river.
One thing about snow on a sunny day, its so bright it almost hurts to really open your eyes.

Love the shadows.

The temperature today is -8Celcius, in other words Cold!

I think these winter pics of Echodale are just one example of What a Wonderful World it is we live in!!

Project 52 - Oh, the Rush!

Project 52 - p52 weekly photo challenge with Kent Weakley

 
 Christmas is just around the corner, but it is not causing me any thoughts of rushing around and preparing for the big event. The thing that could cause me some anxiety is this! We have finally sold our house and completion date for the sale is the end of January. I am not stressed right now because I know I have a bunch of time between now and then to do the multitude of things that need to be done. Ask me again in a month though and I will be rushing around like a chicken with no head! And a few of the things I will be rushing around doing will be those things I think I have lots of time to complete right now! Isn't that the way it always goes!!

Abbotsford Airshow

P52 with Kent Weakley
Every year we wait for the second August weekend for the Abbotsford Airshow. This is the 30th year for the Airshow and even though we never actually go the airshow, we weren't going to miss it! Our friends, Janice and Frank live on a large farm a couple miles from the airport and that was where we went to see the show.
Hubby and I are not one for big crowds and hot tarmac so we don't actually like going to the airport for it.
We sat outside in thier front yard, and watched the planes, while having a good visit, a bit of wine and shade from thier big oak trees to rest in away from the heat. It is one of Summer's favorite things to do!
These are the American Thunderbirds, flying in formation.
 
Loved watching the jetstreams as they flew in formation!

This particular formation is in honour of the fallen soldiers. The lone plane flying away from the formation signifies those fallen soldiers.
Starburst formation breakaway. They all fly in formation and then all break away in different directions with jetstream going.

You can see in the background the hazy Mt. Baker.
A few more of the different war planes flying.
I think this is a Spitfire, but I am not certain.
Fighter Jet and a Warplane flying in formation.
Some arieal acrobatics!
Comox Search and Rescue Plane.

I caught a photo of the afterburners on this Jet as he flew past us.
This guy was low and loud!
Scenic Sunday
These photos are all straight out of the Camera (SOOC)
We missed the Canadian Snowbirds but are thinking of going back tomorrow to Janice and Frank's place and catching them as well.

Cloudy Day fun!

Skywatch Friday

My hubby and I recently went to a Fusion Festival here in town. It was a perfect day to be out and about, even with the clouds and grey skies. The weather was warm and humid at the same time.
You can see all sorts of things at the Festival! Like these Squirrels or whatever they were!

Tall people with funny legs!

You could learn how to put a Turban on.
Or get your face painted.
There was a huge variety of different foods to eat, from different countries and cultures.
Awesome cultural music and dance to listen to and watch.

Beautiful sounding Pan flute music. This guy was really into playing it for the crowds.

Even the trees were out enjoying the festival!
Strange bib on this little guy!
Click to see the rules and to take a badge for yourself.
You can see the reflection of my hubby in this samovar.
Lots of Ukrainian memorabilia!
Good thing it wasn't cold out, these girls wandering around the grounds would of been cold!

You could watch Salsa dancing and get a free lesson too!
Bollywood banghra dancing. If you have never tryed a class for this kind of dancing, it is so much fun and very energetic.

The crowd really enjoyed watching it!
We had an awesome day at the festival. Lots to see and we got to try some different foods I had never tryed before. It was musical, and colourful to see and experience.
