(Week 37 photographing daily) 

This past week was filled with adventure. In the middle of the week I drove to Ottawa to visit James, went skating on the canal and watched The Lego Movie. It has been 14 years since I was last skating on the canal, if not longer. Reading week started that weekend, which meant Kentucky. Saturday morning we departed bright and early at 6:00 a.m. for Slade, Kentucky. It snowed over night, so on Sunday we went for a hike to the natural bridge. This is my fourth year climbing in Kentucky with the Queen’s Climbing Club.

2014 02 11 – A student is reflected in a puddle along Union Street in front of the John Deutsch University Centre. Puddle comes from the Old English word “pudd,” meaning ditch or furrow, which then comes from German “Pfudel” meaning pool.

2014 02 12 – People line up at the BeaverTail hut located on the Rideau Canal. I always remember the only place getting BeaverTails was on the canal until they expanded. BeaverTails come from the small town of Killaloe, Ontario.

2014 02 15 – Frank, Louise, Lena and Nick sit in the van at a Wendy’s in Lexington, Kentucky after 16 hours of driving with one more hour to our destination. We left Kingston at 6:00 a.m. and arrive in Slade, Kentucky at 11:15 p.m.

(36th Week Photographing Daily) 

At the beginning of the week snow started melting and by the end it was falling. With the change in weather, sporting events and FebFest this was an excellent week for photographing. Melting snow permits unique photo opportunities. Always think outside the box and try to see the world through a different perspective.

2014 02 03 – A student walks by a puddle in front of Freddie’s Grocery at the corner of University Avenue and William Street. Temperatures were just below 0, with so much salt some of the ice was able to melt.
