Near bridge 9

I managed to get a nice walk in Fish Creek near bridge 9 before the snowstorm rolled in. The bike path is bare and dry in most places, but all the foot paths that lead to interesting places are mostly linear puddles just now, and probably still have ice underneath in some places. I wasn't wearing rubber boots so I decided to only do the drier ones and turn back if it turned into a bog.

Since it was calm I was mainly looking for reflections. The water is low, which is a double edged sword. The good side is that I could walk into places that are normally underwater. The not so good is that less water makes reflection compositions more difficult. 

Then again, if it was easy then everyone would do it and it would be fun any more.

March Image of the Month

I wasn't out much with the camera last month. As it turns out, one of the images I'm thinking of as IotM makes no sense without an explanation, and that quickly turns into another blog that belongs over on my photoblog site. It's a bit complicated, and I've been struggling with how to write it. 

So this is what I'm going to do. IotM is a bit of a different deal this time. The actual image is quite ordinary, but given the context of the moment it says something to me. I'm not quite old enough to actually remember seeing the Red Ensign flying on flagpoles, although I probably did. Our flag just passed 60 years, and still flying proud. More proud than ever. Long may it fly.
