Here's a photo i took outside the house January 3rd - a snowstorm was starting.

On Januray 10th, Russ and i went to take some photographs, and just started driving north of Oshawa.


We went up on Ritson Rd beyond where the road is actually maintained - at least it's had enough traffic to flatten out the snow.


This is approaching the train tracks just west of Mt Carmel.


Nice to know there are pigs everywhere.


These are some kind of dog - my guess is coyote, because there were a lot of deer tracks around too.


We went up past Port Perry to Scugog Island. This is at 'Scugog Centre', Island Rd and Demara Rd.


Presumably the old Scugog Island Township hall, until it merged with Port Perry and area. Gawd, what a dump, lol.


The end of Island Rd.... I took it anyway (even though it was one lane only).


You end up at the Lake - those are fishing huts.


Angler.


Hole in the ice.


I hope you appreciate my getting on the ground on my back.


I don't know...


At Scugog Island Marina.


I don't think it reopens at 11.


Neither of which is useful.


I decided to walk out onto the ice, to check some black lump, so i'm actually standing on the lake.


Then i heard a crack, a small boom, and saw this crack in the ice suddenly appear. I went back to shore, ha ha.


SLOW!


At Highway 7A & Island Rd. Some nice textures...
