4.8.07





I took these photo's figuring the snow was going away. This just up the road from our house. Actually it's the end of the road for this stretch. I liked the WW2 buildings still trying to stand. It just amazes me how much of it is around and how abundant it is. They were all over this island. Chris and I are always in awe of some of the places you see this stuff. It could not have been easy to get supplies to some of the locations.

Easter 2007




Easter weekend the weather was pretty nice here. I was asked on Sat before Easter to take some photo's of baby Elizabeth for her mom since she was heading up the big hunt at the PCR(rec center). So Lizzy and I went Tommy elected to stay home even though the event went up to 9. Oh well Lizzy and I had fun watching baby Elizabeth and all the other little ones. We also ended up helping hide eggs between rounds. They hid 500 eggs for 4 age groups. No shredded paper here to sift through but the kids enjoyed it anyway. We had some spring like weather for the weekend but then the snow came back.

4.19.07


Well this morning we woke to more snow. Our front door was completely "drifted" in with snow. As you can see so is my car. We probably got around 2 inches but with these drifts its really piled up in places. The weather is calling for more possibly up to 6 more by Thursday morning. So who knows how much that will actually be.
We have been getting teased with some "spring" weather this month. But every time we think the snow is gone for good it comes back again. I have some photos of the kids down at the park playing with no snow. I will try to get the site updated over the weekend.
Easter Sunday was a nice day here. We heard it wasn't so nice in KTN. Well better run for now. Maybe I will have more snow pics tomorrow but hopefully not......

Fox

Well the other night Chris went to step outside and he looked toward the car and there was this little fox. So he quietly called for us to come and see and of course I had to go for the camera. It was almost 8pm so it was just starting to get dark outside and trying to get my flash to him was difficult. He stayed at the end of the car for a few photo's even after we opened the door. Then it went around the corner so Lizzy and I ran to my bathroom window to have another look. And there it sat on a snow pile. I took a few more photo's through the window and some through the screen then I decided to try and take out the screen. The fox kept eye contact with me the whole time I was working on the screen. I managed to get it out and not scare him away. I was able to snap a few photo's before he had enough. It was pretty exciting to have it be so close.
