Wowza.Coming out of the restaurant yesterday evening in Moncton I was confronted by this enormous pile of snow. Easily over 20 feet high.

If I have the timeline correct, I was photographing this 20+ foot high snow pile the same day as GrouvyGoovy was photographing the pigeons in the park with bare ground and greenish looking grass. At the ski hill the snow base is between 4&5 feet.Wowza.
So inspirational!! You go girl!!!!If you think downhill skiing looks a bit scary to try as one is approaching 50, or whatever age, consider this. At the ski hill last time I met someone from Alma I had never expected to meet there - because I usually see her in a wheelchair!

She had never skied before, even before needing the wheelchair. I think that shows quite a bit of bravery as well as an adventurous spirit. Amazing!
Thanks! Yes, the 6. I find I mostly shoot HDR to improve the tonal range. Highlights in particular are hard to preserve on a small sensor.Brian, your photos are stunning. I really can't believe you have taken them with a mobile phone. Are you using the iPhone 6? Also I am very keen to get a good telephoto lens for mine. How are you finding the Moment lens. Your bird shot is awesome.
Here is another I shot today. This time I used a wifi remote camera app Camera Plus with AirSnap. I set up my iPhone 6 with Moment tele lens on a very tall tripod set about 12-14" from the branch. This picture is full frame, not cropped and not zoomed-in. It illustrates how close you have to be to a small bird to get a decent shot.Brian, your photos are stunning.

It's beautiful! I love the colors....What? No snow in the picture?
This is part of a ceramic water fountain sculpture in the middle of a vegetarian organic restaurant.

There are a series of hand made pottery leaves in a descending spiral pattern around a rectangular post (about 16 x 24"). Each leaf spills water into the one below. This view is somewhat of an abstraction rather than a descriptive view. I know the artist who made this sculpture as well as the decorative tiles surrounding the post. At the bottom are several tropical looking plants. I like the atmosphere it creates and, if possible, I like to sit at a table next to it.
Holy ****!!!!This morning, after the snowstorm.

This is a view from the carport, evaluating the shovelling to be done. Whew!
Later, we were cleared out and headed to town. As we drove we listened to the radio about power outages, accidents, road closures, etc. The road was already drifting in from the continued wind. Near white out conditions in exposed areas. Several places where the road was less than normal width.
Quite glad to hear this!!We turned around and went back home where it is nice and cozy.
Excellent action shots Brian!I promised some ski action shots and here they are.
Wow! So there is 4-ish feet of snow below that plant?Up to their necks.

In the grown-in field below the house the tallest plants are about 4 feet high. Now only the tips of the tallest ones show at all.
After the last snowfall it is a featureless white expanse.

Yup. More now since I can no longer see any plant tops. There's a drift about 6 feet high between the apple tree and rhubarb.Wow! So there is 4-ish feet of snow below that plant?
