Here we go! It's a chilly one, again. Yes, -14℃!
That said, knowing the importance of outdoor play, I toddled down to the trailcam. I had my booklet with me, as the settings were quite wrong! I had over 800 images. Either it both too quick a trigger, plus a 1-minute delay in the trigger.
The amaryllis and paperwhites have been planted.
We had deer visit, as well. They nibble on dead garden plants.
The big news in Ottawa is that the Rideau Canal will be open for skating on Saturday. This is early, even for a 'normal' year. That's how cold it's been. It didn't open long (10 days?) last year. The year before it did not open at all. We've been calling it Waterlude, rather than the February Winterlude Festival.

I heard about the Skateway. I'm glad that it is opening for however long it will be.

We've been undergoing minus temps quite a bit this year, too, but nothing quite to match yours (though news of minus seventeen in the Cairngorms was touted this morning...) Here by the Hutch at midday, it has just warmed up to 0'C... YAM xx
That looks like so much fun on the canal! I don't know how to ice skate, but I bet I would have learned if we had something like that. I guess that's one of the drawbacks of living in the south. Bu we can play tennis almost all year long, lol. Stay warm and safe!
Oh you're just starting your amaryllis bulb! Looking forward to seeing your bloom. Mine is past bloom stage, pretty leaves still. The river being frozen enough for all those skaters! Wow. Loved seeing your critters, as always.
Your sun with the straight rays looks nice! Linda in Kansas
That is great news that the canal is opening for skating. It feels like this is going to be a cold winter.
I'm surprised that the bunny was out & about.
Brrrrrr! The ice skating event looks so fun.
What an event to skate the canal, your wildlife seem to be coming closer, maybe looking for some tidbits.
That is definitely chilly. And beautiful. Love seeing your work continuing to evolve.
I love the set-up on your table with the herons and bird. So pretty. I'm not a skater but I love images of people skating and I admire their skill and balance. Glad the canal is open! Good luck with that camera!
