Spring has officially arrived. The robins and geese are back.

Last week we had an ice storm that covered everything in ice. This is a detail from the “La Foule illumine” (Illuminated crowd), a sculpture outside an office tower in downtown Montréal. It consists of 65 figures looking variously worried, dejected or utterly miserable (it’s art, what do you expect). Being coated in ice probably did little cheer up this poor character.

Who knows what our man is pointing at. Is it "Over there, go forth you huddled masses and conquer," or "Holy crap Batman. What is that coming our way?"

We had an ice storm last week, with the freezing rain coating everything in ice. Tree branches fell under the weight and brought down power lines. Over a million homes lost power, some for days. We were lucky, our outage lasted about only 18 hours. A week later, however, the temperature reached around 28C, close to a record for the time of year. Springtime in Quebec!

Bribery! Feeding the blue jay, deep in snow.

Tired of waiting for spring, I have been scrolling through old photos from summers past.

Pink roses (Bonica) from last year, wet from the rain.

Snow on the ground, snow on the trees and snow in the sky.

Reading at the side of the road. I am sure he had a reason to sit there, but why, I couldn't say.

Descent to the Metro, (part 3). This was when we were slowly returning to daily commuting after the first waves of the plague had passed.

The game must go on. Kids playing hockey in a blizzard on an outdoor rink.

This is our Christmas cactus (Schlumbergera). It is the second year of flowering, last year it flowered for Easter, this year early in February, so maybe next year it will do what it's supposed to and come out for Christmas!
