Today was the first day of the Christmas break and all we did was relax. Our Christmas shopping is all done and we don't have the family reunion before next week. So today was a day to relax, sleep in, a late breakfast, an expresso or two, three, reading the news on my iPad. Finally I decided to go walking despite the fact hat it was -13 degrees celsius (9 degrees F). What decided me to go out and freeze? The sun, bright beautiful sunlight. In the winter I'm like a plant, I need sunlight, which this time of year is in short supply, The sun rises about 7:30 am and sets around 4:15 PM and a lot of the time this past month, it has been grey and cloudy. So since the sun was out, so was I. I went walking at the Cap St-Jacques, a nearby nature park that I often go to. I usually cross country ski there, but right now we only have about 2-3 cm of snow, not enough to ski on without scrapping the bottom of my skis. So today I walked 9 kilometres aroundd the park. Here are a couple of photos I took as I was walking. So in the immortal words of old Saint Nic. "Happy Christmas to all and to all a goodnight!"

Happy Christmas bro!
I'm sorry - I nearly couldn't make it past 9 degrees. And it's only December! Beautiful in the sun, though.
A very Merry Christmas to you>
Very pretty pics, but they made me a little chilly. I'm with you on the sunshine. I am totally solar powered. We had a very long spell of overcast greyness and I had a hard time doing anything. Enjoy your holiday!
By the way, the picture in the previous post? I thought it was Hogwarts.
Funny you should say that. I thought of the same thing except Hogwarts after being taken over by Voldemort. ;oO Which since the conservatives came in is pretty much our reality. ;o(
