Afternoon sun at Gap Lake

This was such a beautiful sight, looking towards the sun at Gap Lake on Sunday, 20 January 2013. We had spent a bit of time there, looking for a pack of four Wolves that we had just been told about. The photo I posted yesterday of a very distant animal in front of a row of trees, was taken from this spot, looking to the far side of the lake. Amazing that I got any shot from that distance, lol! Most unfortunately, I received an e-mail later yesterday from the person who told us about the "Wolves", saying that it had now been decided that after all, these animals were Coyotes, not Wolves. Hugely disappointing, but we certainly enjoyed the temporary excitement - and seeing the beauty of this lake.

Today, I have no choice but to back up some photo files so that I can delete them from my hard drive, before my computer crashes ... sigh.

23 January 2013, 9:30 a.m. Wow, that must be a first - message from Flickr says:

"You caught us at a bad time: We're running red hot at the moment, so uploading is temporarily unavailable until things cool down. Please try again soon! (And, sorry for the lame excuse.)"

Some of my Contacts have been able to upload this morning, so it's obviously not affecting everyone. Hoping it willl sort itself out before I have to go out for my volunteer shift - if not, I will be posting late afternoon or early this evening. Not a very nice day out today. It's -13C (9F) with a windchill of -22C (-8F) and snowing. The sky looks like there is plenty more snow to come. Looking quite pretty, though I probably won't be thinking in those terms while I'm scraping ice and snow off my vehicle shortly : ) Stay warm, everyone!
