Here are April's finalists for photo of the month. I'm offering six for you to choose from today because I just couldn't decide on five.

You can use the Comments button at the bottom of the entry, send me an email or, if you know me, tell me in person which picture you prefer.

Day 110 - Are you kidding me?

On Sunday, APRIL 18, I put the snow blower away in the shed and arranged our lawn furniture happily in the yard. I then rolled the barbecue out to its traditional place and starting planning a summer of outdoor festivities.

On Wednesday, APRIL 20, I took this photograph. I know, it's not art. But it's so angrifying I simply can't believe it. Snow. And ice. On our patio chairs. And our table. And even (not captured in the photo) on our barbecue.

Crazy

Patti says she thinks the chairs look sad in this photograph. I agree. But we both might be projecting, just a little bit.

Day 91A - Snow In April

I know I've already posted some photographs (some truly gorgeous photographs, if I do say so myself) for today's entry but, if I'm going to consider myself a reportage photographer, I'm going to have to be willing to yell "Stop the Presses!" from time to time.

Fredericton is getting belted with snow today and it's APRIL!!!!! This is absolutely nutty but beautiful at the same time. Spring flowers and more than a foot of snow. Yikes. I can't believe I'll be getting out our snow blower on April 2. That's Freddie, I guess.
