It came …. (again)

Just a few days after the last snowfall, it happened again ...

See my previous blog ~ “It came ….” ~ https://southshoretidewatch.blogspot.com/2023/02/it-came.html

This time a little bit more was dropped upon us, but with that we were rewarded with some lovely local views and the inescapable clear up. Fortunately, Buddy Brett was out with his faithful tractor to help with that and had lots of fun doing it …

Today being March 3^rd, I am once again reminded of this day in 1980, when I was surrounded by bright spring blossoms, thousands of daffodils and freshly cut grass, see my blog from one year ago ~ “Memories of other times …” ~

It came ….

I mentioned that we were due a snowfall, well I can report that it came and on time too.

After some snow clearing and with the accompanying cold air stinging my cheeks I pulled my scarf up closer to my face and went for a local wonder. With what seemed like a white blanket covering the trees, the ground and houses, I started out down at the river before venturing into the forest at the back of the house. It was perfectly quiet and still, the only sound I could hear was my boots crunching in the snow. Such an incredibly peaceful wonder in the company of undisturbed snow and long shadows.

Before the snow …

With a threat of snow over the next couple of days, this morning was a perfect time to get out and enjoy bright sunny beach wanders on both Rissers and Crescent.

With the tide retreating from an extreme high, I also found myself enjoying the views from one of my regular winter sun traps, it is always absolutely wonderful.

Bring on the snow, I am ready ….

Chilly and Warm …

Today’s wander, as it normally is if I am not on a beach, was around the local empire in what was a silent, misty and gray sort of day. 

I felt that due to the conditions (misty and gray), that it was perfect to try black and white photography. 

It was amazing during my time out walking, how I would alternately experience pockets of chilly and then warm air.

The complete silence was broken only by Woodpecker Buddy, who was being aggressive with a hydro pole ~ the last photo in colour …
