The lunar eclipse on Feb 20. It's a bit blurry, but it was a cold night and I had
trouble getting a really good focus. Besides, it's hard to take decent pictures
at night, and I didn't have my 300mm lens on me at the time.
The backyard, with freshly fallen snow! This was the big snowfall at
the beginning of March. This was a record year for snow in Toronto.
Matthew relaxing in the lawn chair. It really wasn't that cold,
although it might look like it. Well, it wasn't cold by Canadian
standards, anyway.
David breaking off icicles from the back window.
And David has created a makeshift toy gun out of the icicle he
broke off from the window. I think there's an important lesson
here for those parents who refuse to buy toy guns in the hope
that their boys won't play with them.
The playset and slide, all covered with snow.
The boys getting ready to slide. The icicle gun actually looks
surprisingly good, doesn't it?
David trying to force his way down the slide despite the snow
obstruction. Just look at that crazed smile; David always wears
his emotions on his sleeve.
Matthew's turn!
David taking a rest.
Still resting ...

Oh yeah ... now we have to shovel this mess.
At least the fire department can still reach the hydrant.
