Each winter we have one or more martens visiting our bird feeders. This winter we have three. Some winters, they are very bold; this year they are quite skittish. Today was the first day I managed to get any photos, although I hadn't tried very hard previously.

You might think I'm spending many of my Tuesday evenings at Long Shots and you'd be correct. Good entertainment and a solid photographic challenge (low light).
Besides, I'm an old guy and it's cold outside. I'll get back to the outdoors stuff, but probably not a lot until spring.
Musicians included Paul Adams, Colin Baird, Andy Best, Eamon Burke, Mike Griese, Kurt Penney, Les Taylor, and Neil Vokes.

Diana and I attended this week's Open Mic at Long Shots Sports Cafe in Deep River. It was excellent, starting with country and stand up comedy, and finishing with solid rock and roll. Lots of fun! Participants included Andy, Colin, Jim, KT, Kyle, and Mike.
Here are some photos:

Every Tuesday is Blues / Open Mic / Jam Session night at Long Shots Sports Cafe in Deep River. I have been meaning to attend for a while now and I finally managed it last evening. I had a great time -- a very friendly, relaxed, laid back atmosphere. Good music with the spontaneity of musicians performing in an unrehearsed environment -- so yeah, a few glitches but lots of life.
Musician participating included: Joanne Bailey (vocals), Colin Baird (guitar), Denys Elliot (bass), Mike Griese (guitar), Brian Richardson (guitar), Wayne Renwick (vocals), Big Robbie (drums), and Christy Wojtaszek (vocals).

We had an early winter storm about a week ago that that coated everything in heavy wet snow, which subsequently froze. I finally got the opportunity to drive up to Swisha and take some photos in the sunshine. I didn't catch things at their peak, but it was still pretty scenic.
