Blog Guelph: Peachy
Ha! Take that February...you are winding down before our very eyes.
Despite your attempts to get the best of us with your low low temperatures and record snowfalls (which, incidentally, I don't really mind - but I'm jumping on the "I'm done with this winter" bandwagon) you, brother, are on your way out.
Later February, much much later.
But lest we forget that there is always beauty to be found in our arctic clime, have a peek at this six-pack of gorgeousness from our faithful Flickr friend Chris (aka photocbear).
Click through too, and see the GGA (Greater Guelph Area) through his eyes for a wee while....

p.s. stay tuned for tomorrow's " February's Ultimate Demise"

Blog Guelph: The Tail End of February
Welcome to Wednesday.
Today I turn to our beloved and skilled 'The Giant Vermin' for inspiration on how to make it through these last stubborn days of Frosty #^%*# February. Do click on his photos and by all means check out his vanity project from last year. The man's mind is masterful.
I spoke with a Montreal friend yesterday that claimed his city will be introducing a new snow removal system soon. It's called April.
Let's hope Guelph is so lucky.

Blog Guelph: Spring Forward
Greetings this Monday morning and welcome to a day of cyber summer on Blog Guelph.
Allow me to flash back to what will be our future - a future of green lushness, bold colours and bare flesh. Yes despite being stuck in 'leap month' for an extra day/eternity, I have faith, oh yes indeed I do believe that winter will end and our frozen bones will thaw.
Spring, summer and fall will return fair Guelphites. The snow will go. Amen.
Please enjoy today's set of seven summery Guelph shots taken by the talent that swims in the Guelph Flickr Pool. Best viewed in bare feet and short sleeves, sucking back a beer.

Total Lunar Eclipse
Ah the dripping red orb, the magic of the heavens.
Scratch that.....I'll let Thomas Hardy wax poetic about last night's spectacular lunar eclipse and spare you the pain.
Clearly there was a handful of us out there freezing their wee fingers off. Just take a gander at these 7 fab shots, then click on each one to see where in the world they can lead you.
At a Lunar Eclipse
By Thomas Hardy
Thy shadow, Earth, from Pole to Central Sea,
Now steals along upon the Moon's meek shine
In even monochrome and curving line
Of imperturbable serenity.
How shall I link such sun-cast symmetry
With the torn troubled form I know as thine,
That profile, placid as a brow divine,
With continents of moil and misery?
And can immense Mortality but throw
So small a shade, and Heaven's high human scheme
Be hemmed within the coasts yon arc implies?
Is such the stellar gauge of earthly show,
Nation at war with nation, brains that teem,
Heroes, and women fairer than the skies?
Anon,

Blog Guelph: The Art of Winter
Welcome to a sunny yet frosty, sky blue Wednesday in Guelph.
Please consider today's nine post series like a visit to Mother Nature's Gallery of Art. Note the careful crafting of the various winter materials - snow, frost, ice - and the skillful use of tools like gusting wind, low light and various shaped surfaces. Know that each image is in transition, never to look the same way twice and eventually designed to disappear completely.
Best viewed with a cup of gourmet coffee or tea. Biscotti optional.

Fabulous Friday mates.
It's sunny, half way through February and the eve of our first winter long weekend thanks to Family Day. A light at the end of the snow filled tunnel? Perhaps.
I'm breaking from tradition today with three pics - definite gems - all with a certain snow vibe. Might just as well show the stuff off as complain about it I figure. I say this now of course. My moods do swing in winter.
And - lovely Downtown Lynn is in a big flurry of activity for the next while so her Tuesday/Thursday presence may be hit and miss. I'll do my best to fill her talented boots and keep you amused with photo picks from the Guelph Flickr pool.
To enhance your viewing pleasure may I recommend you dive into a big thermos of spiked hot chocolate.

Blog Guelph: White Out Winter
Welcome to Winter Wonderland Wednesday.
Today's series of eight is a result of me nearing the end of my snow tolerance rope. Yes cabin fever is setting in folks and things might get a tad ugly.
To thwart such an outcome, I'm digging deep for anything that will help get me through the remaining days of 'the season that comes and stays'. Allow me to share some ideas that were inspired by our talented crew of Guelph Flickrites and the on-line world of Cyberville.
First off - there are a fine slew of smart, beautiful, interesting, funny and creative Guelph blogs listed in the Blog Roll in the right hand column. I regularly pop in on GrandFOGGER, and the very whimsical aislinn thomas, Guelph CEO Jim Estill, the Guelph Mercury gals that do city hall and the boys from the newsroom.
Every Thursday I read Gareth Lind's latest comic strip (his ad appears in the top left column) then cruise over to see what's shaking in Ward Two - a very prolific and informative effort by both elected ward reps.
With over 40 blogs that range from soup to nuts, me thinks/hopes you'll find a couple to suit your fancy.
And now, back to the weather.
Today's lead photo by Firda may inspire driving dread BUT to really grasp what it's like to share poor conditions with the 'not so wise' you really must check out funny man TJ O'Malley's post titled: Crazy winter driving video.
Best viewed with a bottle of booze. Your choice.

Blog Guelph: Love Playing
Terrific Tuesday to yah!
So then - in an attempt to focus on something other than the butt clenching cold, I thought I'd provide a public service to our many loyal viewers.
I know that Valentine's Day is an over commercialized, way to emotionally charged event that causes untold heartbreak and disappointment for many. However, I happen to believe that love - in it's many forms - is well worth celebrating.
To stimulate such a celebration, today's series of six images offer examples of love in the way only Blog Guelph can.
Plus here's my humble suggestion. Instead of waiting until February 14th like the rest of the Hallmark induced masses, why not stand out and strike up your love song today.
I'm about to detonate the Love Bomb boys and girls - three, two, one.......
Love

Merry Monday.
For those of you viewing Blog Guelph from afar, it's friggin freezing here today - sunny - but with the wind chill it's got the vibe of minus 25C.
Minus 25C.
As my crusty father used to proclaim, "It's cold enough to freeze the nuts off a brass monkey".
In honour of said monkey and his loss plus all the frozen sods in town, I'm happy to present a series of 5 pics of one subject, by one photographer - Memotions.
For those of you living in icicle free zones, today's posts are best viewed while sitting in an ice bath.

Blog Guelph: Stillness
Welcome to Wednesday wonderful people.
Today's series of seven simple yet elegant photographs are the work of one photographer - published under the Flickr moniker Monkey Hunter. According to MH's bio, he is a Guelph dude that discovered photography in July 2006 but now admits that image taking has "blossomed into a full blown addiction. I get seperation anxiety if my camera's not in arms reach."
Since Guelph continues to be cloaked in winter white with grey and sludge-toned highlights, may I suggest that you brew up a pot of Jasmine Tea and try to score a With the Grain Lemon Square - then take a few moments to be at one with Monkey Hunter's work.
My spirits lifted.

Blog Guelph: Hillside Inside
Good Tuesday.
In case you weren't there, the inaugural Hillside Inside took place this past Saturday and it was a rockin' good time.
Yes, it was in an arena and very different from the beloved outdoor, summer festival.
No, there was no children's programming, lazing about on the grass and swimming but there was a lovely vibe and the usual fantastic music lineup Hillside is famous for.
If you happened to opt out, you missed out on a spectacular and much needed mid-winter event so I'm posting a bakers dozen of snaps to rub it in your face....

Blog Guelph: The Classic Canadian Winter Dream
As we head into our third month of winter some of the troops are rallying with seasonal activities that truly define the notion of Canadian.
Take this scene captured by Peter Kelly for example.
Rockwood Conservation area, located about 8 kms due east of Guelph is stunning in every season. But throw a shinny rink in the middle of the tree and rock lined lake and steady the temperature just below 0C, and you've got the makings of magic.
Yes, we got another big dump of snow on Friday - the pretty, clinging variety that makes for photographic fun yet managed to pretty much shut the city down.
So without further ado - today's series is dedicated to the white stuff and all its glory. Best viewed with hot chocolate and cake.
BTW: Rain is in the forecast for tomorrow.
