Winter!


Hi All,

Since winter arrived to the Maritime Provinces this weekend, I thought I would share a collection of images from winter past. The temperature plummeted to -7 Celcius and it became quite windy and raw whilst out on a birding field trip yesterday. 2 Bright Red Cardinals backdropped against the newly fallen snow was a treat.

Below is an image of Oak leaves frozen under the ice. Pictou County NS.

The beavers are pretty much tucked away in their lodges in this kind of weather, with a winter's supply of food stashed away. This image was taken in Willard Fraser's pond, Pictou County NS.

Canon EOS3, 70-200mm F4l lens, Fuji Velvia film, and B&W Circular Polarizer filter.

Time to get out and enjoy the snow, it sure beats complaining about it!

Cheers,
Gary.
