had an excellent day yesterday…

early in the morning got this great shot of the garage roof which glittered with a thin blanket of fresh snow…

took a few pictures of the buds on the Japanese Maple, which is a sure sign of Spring for me…

  
then it was off to help with the set up for a special event…

a good friend picked me up and we went to Peasant Cookery for a lovely early birthday lunch… delightful…

from there we stopped at UN Luggage where I found a rain jacket… my current one is on the large size and I heard that I should have one in New York…

bit of a colour departure for me but the magenta leans towards purple, lol…

our last stop was a walk through the Gardens at Assiniboine Park… it was a gorgeous day…

this goose seemed to be looking for the water, lol…

spent some time playing with my Olympus camera as my Nikon is still at the hospital…

rather pleased with this shot…
