My husband was really impressed with Ride On, so I am not surprised to see it has other fans. I am happy that the love bundled in our family comes through in the blog. I was reading your information online and saw that your husband is receiving treatment for colon cancer (forgive my nosiness). I wish you peace on that journey. You seem to be surrounded by beautiful art and creativity. I imagine you both find solace and strength in the beauty of culture. All the best.

I am constantly learning new "stuff" from your posts.<br /><br />Looking forward to seeing you soon, Phyllis! Nice that you are having some springlike weather in Winnipeg as well. I wonder which birds are there now, and if they are on their way somewhere else, or preparing to settle.Black Jack's Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18436115876996209227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5731660835554890553.post-21782190789258909192010-01-22T17:18:19.757-08:002010-01-22T17:18:19.757-08:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5731660835554890553.post-70039398515967005832010-01-21T22:31:13.291-08:002010-01-21T22:31:13.291-08:00When I was a kid living in Africa, we went on a sa...When I was a kid living in Africa, we went on a safari and my dad took amazing close-ups of the lions. Those photos are stunning, but I never forget the feeling of "cheating" that remained; he had poked his telephoto through the fence, and I could never muster the courage to tell anyone...but whenever I think about those photos I believe that the camera truly can lie!Cristina Hermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13825759163592259902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5731660835554890553.post-29536481201756826452010-01-21T07:23:52.747-08:002010-01-21T07:23:52.747-08:00I cannot wait to experience spring in Vancouver, a...I cannot wait to experience spring in Vancouver, although we are having a very mild spell in Winnipeg. A -5 degrees morning with birds flocking in the trees feels spring-like today! Thanks for the pictures and the lively commentary!

I haven't seen any around here, but now I've memorized the shape of their head and colour pattern for when -- if -- one ever shows up.Susannah Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11923063322849781223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5731660835554890553.post-54666023928985299502010-01-20T15:39:45.171-08:002010-01-20T15:39:45.171-08:00It really does feel like spring in the air, doesn&...It really does feel like spring in the air, doesn't it? Let's hope we aren't jinxing ourselves, but at least if we get any snow now it will not last for long.<br /><br />I agree that the camera lies. And it works both ways - sometimes making things nicer (by masking industrial noise or pollution) but sometimes failing to transmit the sheer beauty and tranquility of a spot. I am often sad that my photos cannot capture all the "magic" of a magical moment or place.Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08231007979360748217noreply@blogger.com
