March, April and sometimes through May are the months for spring snow storms. Here's our first one. We have been having superb warm spring days, and then BAM! upslope conditions and nice wet heavy snow. (As opposed to dry winter snow... you have to be a Coloradan to appreciate the difference - like dry rain.)

Chug a lug! Hilariously insensitive and politically incorrect.

March is March Madness month. For the Non USA people - March Madness is the month when offices and office workers around the USA come to a grinding halt while people select their brackets for the Men's and Women's NCAA College Basketball Championships. Last year was the second year I participated in our office pool (not really pool as you don't get to win any money - just a little trophy and a free lunch.) I spent less than a minute selecting my bracket AND I ended up winning much to the horror of all the sports fanatics in the office! And I no less than nothing about basketball let alone College basketball. Today was the last day to get our brackets in. I thought I'd take a photo of my little trophy which has been decorating my office. Let the competition begin...

I met up with a colleague after work for a drink and a chat. We are enjoying wonderful spring weather. Here we are at the bar with the doors open. I just loved the way the natural light was showing in the glasses.

Another grab shot for photo of the day. Since I am only slightly addicted to tv and the joys of TIVO I thought I needed at least one photo of the remotes.

I was scraping the barrel with my photo of the day. Kevin had an old box lying around, its bright color caught my eye.

Mom and I had a wonderful time on Saturday bonding and shopping. On the way back home I stopped off on Highway 7 and took a photo of this old barn.

It has been a while since I last saw one of these. I was really attracted by the geometric pattern.

Mom and Dad had their citizenship interview and test today. Mom called me at the end of the day - great news! Not only did they pass through the interview and test with flying colors, but they were eligible to be in a citizenship ceremony that afternoon. So no chance to send out the invites to the usual entourage. So here's to some new citizens! Congratulations.

To celebrate we went to a local Erie BBQ pit.

The ceiling was pitch black - not a good bounce surface. But I didn't want that blasted out look. I pulled up the white card (no more than 1cm) to give a little fill.

Kevin was setting up his photo using this macro set up. I decided to take a photo of the set up.
