Canada geese rest quietly on the water as the sun begins to rise. It’s colder this morning than it’s been since last winter. Some days, you can tell just by looking at the colour of the trees and the sky that you’re going to have to need mitts in order to walk outside, especially in the salt marsh, where there’s always some sort of wind.
There are no hot pinks or warm oranges in this morning’s sunrise. Everything looks cool and barren. Of course, nothing looks as cold as the water…
Except perhaps this poor duck…
At least someone’s sense of humour hasn’t frosted over. Yet.





Brrr….beautiful, but brrrr!
Photos are really beautiful!
Cindy and Nadezhda, yes it is beautiful. But it’s difficult to remember that when you’re in the middle of the cold.
Lovely! It’s getting cold here too. The wind is quite wild, and I am determined to stay in as much as possible.
Yousei, wild winter weather keeps many Nova Scotians indoors. It’s a difficult type of winter for children to play in, so they probably stay indoors more here than in other parts of the country.
At least the water looks wet instead of frozen. Does Cow Bay freeze over later in the winter?
Pamela, the water in the marsh freezes over in some places, but I’ve never seen the beach at Rainbow Haven frozen. I don’t think Silver Sands beach on the other side of Cow Bay freezes either.
I feel the cold in the picture. The Sun looks nice.
The sun might look nice Mike but it doesn’t seem to be radiating much warmth
Isn’t it fun when you have to wear mits AND operate the camera simultaneously? Brrr….!
Kathy, although I walked out in the marsh yesterday morning, I didn’t take a single photo as the wind was so very cold. It really freezes the fingers.
“I feel your cold.”
That’s a lie. My fingers are frozen and I can’t feel anything.
My TOES are frozen. We’re all feeling your pain, Amy!!
