Waiting for Spring

Today was a gorgeous day. So I went for a walk through the river valley. When it is this nice it is so hard to choose which picture to post. So I decided to go with my first instincts. This was the reason I went for the walk in the first place. I figured it would be a nice chance to get a shot of our riverboat docked in the river and of course frozen to a point anyway in the ice. I took a shot of the Edmonton Queen going down the riverearly on in my project. If you want to see it go back to my shot from June 6, 2011.
They offer both regular cruises and dinner cruises on the Edmonton Queen This year I will definitely be taking one or even both of those as the dinner on of course is at night.
The warm weather is supposed to continue so I am thinking I will be getting in some nice outside shots over the next few days
