Death-cicles

I have been busy, but here is another one.

I cannot believe the icicles that have formed in Pennslyvania. It seems like after a snow fall, al the heat in the buildings escapes out through the uninsulated attics and melts the snow. I could not believe hearing dripping water on a freezing night while walking the dog. Some of the icicles are 7 feet long hanging from the 2nd story eves-throughs. Well I could not resist the urge to take some pictures.

Let's Fall!

I took this shot on Darwin Wiggett's Winter Magic tour in February.  I just loved how this tree was hanging stuck in the air waiting to fall someday.  It reminded me of the new season upon us.  Certainly, in Calgary where I am from is in a completely different situation than Pittsburgh, where I am llving now. 

Giraffe in Solitude

We visited the Pittsburgh Zoo and PPG Aquarium on the weekend to check it out. I liked going to the Calgary Zoo, but with all the bad PR they are getting and $5 dollar parking, I was really looking forward to the one in Pittsburgh.  Well the parking is free and plentiful here, lots of different animals and there is an aquarium!  Here is my favorite one of the day that did not show much evidence of the countless children and crowds on a great day at the zoo!

Penn State Lushness

As of today I have been in Pennsylvania for over a week now.  I just can't get over the forests, the countryside, and the lushness all over the state.  I just can't wait to move here in June.  It will be a great new adventure that I will share with my wife-to-be!  After work, I found a nice looking creek flowing through a forest. Lots of greenery!
