Blog Guelph: W is for Winter......


W is for Winter, originally uploaded by Denim.

...but not for long. SSSSSSpring is coming.

So then it's top of the mid-day Monday to you on this bright Saint Patrick's Day. It's feeling like a lucky day here at Blog Guelph and to share that vibe, I have 13 diverse, artful, pure Guelph photos for you to soak in while you're sucking on your green beer.

We've endured a record breaking, shovel bending, bruiser of a winter in our stretch of Canada this year. AND yes I know that more snow is inevitable and I'm fully able to see the enormous piles of the white stuff everywhere but - BUT - there is a lovely warmth to the sun as we slide toward this weeks Vernal Equinox.

Spring IS in the air.

On that note - please fully enjoy today's selection of stunning images. Leave comments, click on the photographs, get inspired, check out the ads, tell someone about Blog Guelph and come back tomorrow for more good stuff by the talent that live in and around our town.

Blog Guelph: Thick Blanket of Snow


, originally uploaded by Mr. Mikey Mike.

This is not news for anyone in Guelph and vicinity but for those readers from away - we got another massive dump of snow on Saturday.

It's insane really. Record setting even. Certainly back breaking.

Okay - so - despite featuring nine primarily white photo images in today's series, I have four fresh green, think spring, Guelph links for you to visit.

If you're into doing an interesting, home conservation survey, visit Get With The Gig. (their ad is second from the top on the left) They're offering some terrific prizes for participating in their community based survey.

The lead photograph for this March Break Monday is from Mr. Mikey Mike - a new face on our good old blog. Please click his pic.

Sue Richards

Best viewed with your head resting on a pillow - all that 'springing forward one hour silliness' has left us all a little sleep deprived.

Blog Guelph: Love Playing


Lonely Goalie #1, originally uploaded by peterkelly.

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
Love
Love

Blog Guelph: The Classic Canadian Winter Dream


Canadian Winter, originally uploaded by peterkelly.

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.

Blog Guelph: Dumped!!


still moving, originally uploaded by deathtothehorror.

Jingle bells,
winter fell,
all throughout the night.

So much snow
our city slowed
and the people hid from sight.

Brrr!

Snow plows roamed
the buried streets
and tried to clear the mess.

Our aching backs
from digging out
made Sunday free of rest!

Sliding round the town,
On our useless summer tires,
Gordon hills a rink.
Grange a glacier.

Shopping must get done,
Santa's on his way,
What fun is this untimely storm
Where is global warming today?

Eh?

Fellow Guelphites!

Today we are gathered together to bid farewell to a season. A season that some love and others loath. A season that comes every year despite our denial or surprise.

Yes dear friends, Old Man Winter is within a week of his best before date.

I spent much of my youth sitting in my dad's fish hut out on Georgian Bay, trying to be quiet - waiting for a fish to strike.

There's a zen like quality to the dark cave of a fish hut. Should you be interested in having the experience, the huts on Guelph Lake can be rented through the Guelph Lake Conservation Authority. Click here for details.

Blog Guelph: Drift Power


Drift Ledges, originally uploaded by stingrayz08.

This hot musical tip just in from my University of Guelph correspondent Tannis Slimmon.

"If you're up for some very special African music on this Thursday just before noon, there's a FREE concert happening in the courtyard of the University Centre at the University of Guelph."

Zaki Ibrahim will be playing at 11:45 am. Check herMySpace link for details.

Following Zaki, Vieux Farka Toure, son of legendary Ali Farka Toure, will be performing. Check his link right here.

Vieux was recorded at the Institut National des Arts in Bamako, Mali by Guelph's own Lewis Melville a couple of years ago.

Blog Guelph: Icicles


Steps To The Ice Castle, originally uploaded by RavenGirlStudios.

Today's series of photos is intended to illustrate what minus 11C looks like - the current and somewhat consistent temperature that we are enjoying in Guelph at the moment.

Actually, this is not true. When you factor in the wind chill, it really feels like minus 21C.

I have never heard of anyone being speared by icicles, but I can image that should this cluster fall on your head, the scene would not be pretty.

Great capture by Raven Girl - click her pic.

Blog Guelph: Guelph Glow


* 899, originally uploaded by dezsö.

Today's series of photos is not really a series. It's more of a dogs breakfast of images that caught my eye. That's pretty much all I can tell you - except to say that there are no end of great Gruelph photos that catch my eye.

You've likely noticed how prolific photographer Dezso is if you've been following along the ole Blog Guelph trail. But I suspect you haven't noticed the latest feature to hit Blog Guelph's platform.

I can now label each post with tags that will help to file the images of this blog. With almost 700 posts to wade through, this will take some time to get everything labeled. But for now, I'd like to give you a taste of this fun new feature.

Click here for some of Dezso's Blog Guelph images.

* 884, originally uploaded by dezsö.

My apology to those of you wondering if Blog Guelph froze in its tracks for the last week. While changing blog platforms, we got bugs in the software and I simply could not publish!

But we're back in biz - and Guelph photographer's have been hard at it - despite the extreme cold and blustery weather.

Today's series takes a look at the myriad ways that snow moulds to the landscape and everything in it.

This statue is part of the epitaph downtown - beautifully captured by dezso.
