The gulls are back for the summer:
Lake Nipissing is a gull-magnet, as indeed are most lakes in this part of the world.
There are three gulls in this photograph.
Sunset Point Revealed
With the lake so low, a favourite summertime swimming spot reveals itself.
It’s a bit cold these days for that activity.

Spring Calm
Lake Nipissing is quite low these days. More of the lake shore is uncovered at this time of year and new details are revealed.
The rock of the Pre-Cambrian Shield gives an ageless feeling to this photograph.

Duchesnay
Another long exposure:
Lower Duchesnay Creek is a very pretty place.

White Beard
I visited our local waterfall yesterday with long exposures in mind.
Here’s one that I like:
Moses on the rock?

Cadillac Bridge
The recently installed pedestrian overpass across the bypass is a gorgeous piece of public infrastructure. It looks great from any angle.
It is truly neat that the approaches are bicycle friendly.
This is part of giving the city back to the ordinary person.

Blue Door
What is its purpose? Where does it lead? What’s on the other side?
Little mysteries.

Nipissing Shore
The water is low in Lake Nipissing at this time of year and so it’s possible to walk in places that are unavailable later in the summer.
Water would normally lap at the roots of these trees and the stony beach would be obscured.
When the warmth returns, the stark bones of the trees will be hidden with green.

Grafitti
Visited a place by the railroad tracks today where the big minds with the spray cans spend some of their time.
There are more from today posted on the “Graffiti In My Town” page.
I submit photos to a stock web site. They will not accept graffiti unless the shot is accompanied by a release signed by the “artist”. Seems that the “artist” has copyright and could sue if the shot is used commercially. Funny world!

Lookin’ Good?
Sometimes the rear yards of old buildings tell their own stories. This structure is on Oak Street and those photographers whose memories go back some years remember seeing it when they visited a favourite store via the back way.
The designer of the necessary fire escape paid scant attention to the look of the building. The modifications to the original windows do not add to the architecture. It once looked good.
Now…?

Back Alley Stair
A narrow alley on Oak Street.
Spring arrives tomorrow. Cycling season can begin.

Lots of Water
On the west side of town is Duchesnay Falls. The creek that feeds the falls usually doesn’t carry much water but with the early spring weather, lots of water is flowing.
We visited yesterday.

The Plural of Tardis?
Visited the boat launch area in Callander yesterday. The exceptional warm weather of the past two weeks has sounded the warning to get the ice huts off the bay. This past weekend saw lots of activity around the boat launch and parking lot.
When the ice goes bad, the small Tardises (Tardae?) must be put somewhere.

Ski Sadness
The sun and the warm temperatures have beaten the ski hill to death extremely early this year. No more local skiing this early in March. It is sad to see the season ending so soon.
Perhaps there is something to this “Global Warming” thing!
