Raise the Hammer
The first respectable snowfall of the season is supposed to melt later today, but here's a selection of photos I took yesterday to celebrate my neighbourhood in winter.

With the winter of 2011-2012 threatening to be a no-show, I took full advantage of the only legitimate snowfall we've had this season and got out to enjoy the sights in my neighbourhood - Strathcona.
One of the great things about living in this downtown neighbourhood is the easy access to greenspace and natural vistas.
While not a major storm, enough snow fell to allow mother nature to put on a show for us here in the Hammer. Enjoy this snowy morning walk through Strathcona.
Snow begins to fall in the evening on Sunday.
The next morning.
Dundurn Park.
Victoria Park.
Mature trees in Victoria Park.
Footprints crisscross the snow.
The new Victoria Park gazebo.
Arch.
Fence line.
Tobogganing - finally!
Castle.
Hamilton Harbour.
Victorian snow.
Snow and water.

Those are some nice pictures. I really need to get out and take some shots of the Harbour - I have a multi-pane picture frame at home and want to take a bunch of the Harbour at various times of the day and year - a nice crisp winter's day with the water iced over; a summer evening with the reflection of the stacks glowing; boats out on a sunny afternoon; the rowers working their way around early in the morning when the fog hasn't fully burned off; that kind of thing.
I hope we get one more big dump of snow for 2 reasons - for more photo essays like this, and because then I can work from home ;)
