Rough around the edges

The ice on Agimak Lake set in quickly this year.  One day the water was grey and fluid, the next day smooth and white, well, mostly smooth.  Along the shore it appears as if waves themselves were frozen.

First and last

The first flakes of wet snow cling to the last of my little maple’s leaves.

Reflecting

I’ve reached a minor milestone!  This post is my 365th!  Unlike those who are participating in the 365 project; (taking a picture every day for an entire year) it took me 3 years, 2 months and 3 days to create three hundred, sixty-five posts!   My very first post was September 14, 2008.  Back then my blog was hosted on blogspot and the images rather small.  Here they are in updated splendor.


I’ll never tire of that view! Our ‘birds’ are tucked away for the winter. It’s nice to recall warm summer days as the ice and snow set in around the dock.

Fortuitous forgetfulness

While visiting good friends in Stonewall, Manitoba recently, we departed inadvertently leaving stuff behind.  We were less than 10 minutes enroute when my cell phone rang to inform us about our forgetfulness.   It was a misty morning with temperatures around freezing.  When we turned around, I asked my hubby to drop me on the side of the road with my camera bag and to pick me upon his return.  My November desktop image was taken at that time.  I was looking to capture a misty forest scene but was treated to some great frosty shots.

Here’s the attempt at misty, clouded trees:

Not quite what I was looking for.

Instead, I was thrilled to find the touches of frost.
