Well today there's the challenge of sorting out what best subject to write about; there's so much to choose from that caught my interest overnight last night and early this morning...

So I guess I'll just have to do 6 entries today, just to get them in and not make the posts too long!

On the bird photographs; I've still got the camera trained on the birch tree - have taken a couple shots so far but will wait to see if I can get a few more to choose from. Must say though; the birds look particularly sweet today as they're puffing up their feathers to help them stay warm while they pick through their seeds!

Temperature -6 C (22 F) Barometer; 101.7 and rising. Yay!!!!
Humidity 86%, winds from the southwest at 24 km/h

A few clouds but good sunny periods... Keisha, the dog enjoyed playing in the light fluffy snow in the garden this morning but she didn't want to stay out as long as usual!

Okay, first subject

1) For the environment; Rooftop wind turbines- Kelowna BC, Canada;

A company is busily preparing to test several roof-top turbines that produce sufficient electricity to cover about 80% of a homes' electrical energy needs. No batteries required as power companies will allow homeowners to connect direct to the power grid. I'll be keeping track of this story; I have a tall house that might be able to take advantage of this technology! I love re-newable energy, it's sad it's taken 30 years to see them finally happening, and power companies are co-operating when they would not in the past.

This is one good sign of things to come!
