(40th Week Photographing) 

The Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada Conference in Toronto was the most exciting thing this week. It was fun, enjoyed the student luncheon and talked to various geologists with the Ontario Geological Survey. The remaining photos this week were nothing special, whatever I came across.

Sometimes the most exciting photos are unplanned such as the snowy owl. I hadn’t taken a photo for the day, so I wanted to go for a walk. Driving over the Lemoine Point Conservation Area the snowy was flying in the field. You never know what you’ll come across.

2014 03 03 – Ice and snow cover most of the river at Collins Bay as cold temperatures persist. Many of the news stations are saying this is the coldest winter in over two decades.
