Went for a hike today. This was at the top of the hill we climbed:



Definitely a day for "OMG, I can't believe we live here now" moments. I left a cold snap behind in Ottawa, and came to a land of moss and... well, okay, it's still below freezing, but not quite so far below.



Also, look, new year, new camera, new computer to handle processing! I've got a huge backlog but for now, I'm just going to go like I've declared photo bankruptcy and start trying to keep up with the new. Today, however, the setup took long enough that I'll be stopping at 2 photos (for my AAW submissions) so that I actually get some sleep before work tomorrow.

Did you make the sweater for the dog? It is ridiculously cute.

I did not! My grandmother made it, actually for a previous dog (Mitzi, a Schnauzer), but thankfully Buster doesn't mind hand-me-downs!

I love the sense of motion in the second one! I might try to come climb Hood this season if scheduling, flights, and a guide can be worked out... we'll see about the timing! But it'd let me know whether I hate ropes and crampons or not. And I'm sure I'll be down to see the Japanese Garden at some point too. I'll let you know when I'm coming... do you have any interest in seeing the Garden (again)?

I'm always happy to see the garden again! (And I'm kind of jealous about the climbing, but that's definitely not among my skills, alas.)
