The snow banks by the road slowly reveal items of nature that have been hidden for the past few months.
This oak leaf sinks daily into its little bed of snow until it will eventually reach the ground.

Looking West Monochrome
A black and white version of yesterday’s post.
The canoe routes to the West of Canada entered Lake Nipissing a little to the South of this location and disappeared into the mouth of the French River on the horizon to the left. Canoes passed this way Spring and Fall for over 100 years.

Looking West
One year ago today, this was the view from Sunset Park looking west across Lake Nipissing.
Today it looks pretty much the same.
A month from now it should be different.

Emerging from Winter
The snow is getting knocked down by the sun and the rock underneath can begin to breathe again.
But it won’t be bare before next week.
On the shore of Lake Nipissing this afternoon.

March Shadows
In March the sun is getting higher and the shadows of the bare trees become visible on the smooth snow.
It is easy to miss this beauty.

Shadows
Delicate shadows are made at this time of year by trees on the snow.
Smooth snow surfaces provide the perfect canvas for the rendering.

Pines
Near our place is a little bush that was planted some years ago.
In March around noon the shadows can be quite deep. HDR helps to even things out.

Spring
Everyone is impatient for Spring to arrive.
One year ago on West Peninsula Road this was the scene.
Looks very much the same this morning.

Sunday at Laurentian Ski Hill
North Bay is blessed with an alpine ski hill situated inside town. The hill has been operating for over 50 years and has provided recreational opportunities for North Bay people, and at least two World Champions have grown up here and learned their craft.
Today was a busy day at the hill.
People having Great Fun on a gorgeous winter day.

It’s Still Cold
On Jan 7 this photo was made at -30 C. There was hope that the weather would moderate for the rest of the winter.
Faint hopes have been dashed by one of the colder winters to be remembered around here.
All that has changed is we now have more snow. Please tell me you believe in Spring!
