Freshness in the air

Today provided another nice wander around the LaHave Islands and along Crescent Beach.

With the tide slowly retreating, the afternoon outing alternated between bright warm sunshine to suddenly being surrounded by the cool mist coming off the sea ~ the flip-flopping conditions provided an amazing freshness to the air, which was enjoyed by myself and Squirrel Buddy ….

Breaking through the ice …

In bright sunshine, with a temperature at around -6°C and very low tide, it was perfect for a wander on Rissers Beach.

Running from the lakes on the higher ground above the beach are many streams rolling over rocks and today, breaking through the ice.

Buddy kept an eye on me the whole time I was taking the pics

Smoothing out the water

On this absolutely stunning day with the tide just past its peak, I was once again in the company of my camera for a beach wander. 
With the ND1000 Filter installed and the camera set at 100 ASA, I thought I would try to smooth out the water.

The results below are slowly improving from the last attempt, I would certainly like to get better, but definitely would not want to get it perfect …!!!!
