January Sunday

Sunday evening. It’s been one of those cloudless sunny but frosty Winter days, just above zero. The sun sets at 2pm for us. Damn the hill to our south at this time of year! We drove over to Burnaby Lake and enjoyed sunshine, a lovely walk and masses of water fowl until 4pm there. I had loaded my kiln with just one shelf – the 9 jugbirds, to be bisqued, just before we left. When they have been glazed I’ll post the whole story of their fabrication later this week. The first photo shows a flicker jugbird with its base coated with terra sigillata before the bisque-firing.

The other photos are of Lafarge Lake, Coquitlam, yesterday and some ducks on Burnaby Lake today.
