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....

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: Known to many as the home away from home
Home.
Home is where the heart is.
Home Sweet Home.
Homeward bound.
Sweet home Alabama.
So many notions of what home means to each of us.
Have a look-see at the various homes discovered in Guelph and environs - or at least what some call home.

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.
