Old Photos

I was flipping through the photo albums I have here, waiting to be scanned, and this image caught my eye.

It is labeled 1937, nothing more.

Springbank Snow Countess

I have told the story of the Springbank Snow Countess here

and here

but I wanted to show what she looks like in an October rain.

Skywatch Friday

Back in June, I posted about the Springbank Snow Countess. http://lilacgate.blogspot.com/2009/06/skywatch-friday.html

Last week, I visited her again. I had hoped there would be snow on her, but it was a green Christmas, so I had to be content with a photo of her hiding among the bare branches, and against the cloudy sky.

In Woodstock, Ontario,

the city where I grew up, she is commonly known as The Cow.

In recent years, she has been moved to a more prominent location for the tourists.

Being a native, I have never been this close to her before.
