Ice with that ...?

On this beautiful bright and warm (in places) day, it was off for a wander on Crescent Beach and George Island. Like most other areas of the country this winter, we too are in the midst of our own period of never ending cold temperatures. This has resulted in an attractive array of ice shapes and build-up with the incoming tide.

Frozen Ponds

Encouraged by this morning’s bright and wonderful conditions, I drove to Green Bay for a hike along the shore. With the tide low and the sun providing a comfortable warmth, I wandered to Beartrap Cove, which for the locals is just a hop, skip and jump from Broad Cove off Hwy 331.

Along the shore just behind the numerous little beaches and rocks are a series of fresh water ponds, which due to our recent cold weather are all frozen.

On the way back to Green Bay I stopped for a break at a nice little sun trap to watch the incoming tide splash over some rocks.

A fine day, but probably not for everyone ….

I suppose influenced by my early years in Scotland, today's weather of drizzle, dampness and heavy mist was perfect for a beach wander and hike on the islands. I am sure different weather conditions, brings out a variety of preferences to motivate people to visit a beach or wander coastal rocks, for me any weather is perfect, but my favourite is a fine day like today …..

It reminded me of a similar outing back in March 2017, see “Some may say it's a dreich day” ~
