A tree in Norval, after the December 2013 ice storm. Of the five or so similar trees here, this is the only one that kept it’s shape after.

A single blade of grass during the December ice storm. I find it amazing that thin structures can develop into one inch thick ice structures like this.

This graffiti is visible on one of Belfast’s "Peace Walls" that separate nationalist and unionist neighbourhoods in the city. This particular wall is on Cupar Way and is very close to the famous Bombay Street. We stopped here on a Black Cab tour.

Turn out the lights, I’m done! Today marks my second photo-a-day 365 project completion. I’ve had a lot of fun with these projects but for 2014 I’m on to something different – still taking photos, just not being driven by the calendar date.

Closeup on a poinsetta in Chatham. What can I say, I’m a fan of the closeup on a flower – particularly ones with bold colours.

Well, first was the ice storm … and those get followed by melts. Today, much to the relief of our town’s hydro company, we got our warmer temperatures. This is what remains of the ice on my maple tree – we had a morning full off icicle bombs that turn into this after impact.

This is on the Elora Cataract Trail while geocaching on Friday night with the BFL Crew. I had a couple of my friends hold their flashlights on the other side of these fallen branches (well, trees actually) and that lit up the ice storm "crystal" rather well.
