February (and January) is often the snowiest months of the year ... and that has proved true here this past week!
bonus parliament postcard. this is the granddaddy of the Parliament Buildings as seen from the back with the gorgeous Library of Parliament taking centre stage. The library survived the 1916 fire (120 years ago on Feb 3rd) that destroyed the rest of the Centre Block building when the library clerk ordered the iron doors to be shut so the fire couldn't spread into the room. In spite of WWI going on, the Centre Block was rebuilt and reopened in 1920.

Stunning postcard, and thanks for the history. They are beautiful buildings.
Beautiful capture on this postcard. The moon is fantastic.
Early this morning, when I went out back with my dog (I fool myself into thinking I could stop him from barking if he wanted to bark!) I saw the moon. Unfortunately, my old iPhone camera couldn't do justice. No, just a round yellow fuzzy blob in the sky.
