About a week ago it rained all night and got warm in the morning. Very humid but cold near the ground.
The fog made it interesting.
This was made using three exposures (-1,0,+1) and then combining them using the HDR function in CS5 Photoshop.

Take Heart!
Despite today’s rotten weather, this is coming…
I guess we can all relax now!

Winter Water
This little stream crosses North Shore Drive near where I live.
It’s easy to miss when you keep your eyes on the road when driving by.
A good argument for walking. Or driving slowly…

Slow But Steady
The ice builds with inevitable persistance as the temperature drops.

First Ice
The water in One Mile Bay is close to freezing.
Another few days of open water.
And then the ice won’t leave until mid-April.

Ripples
One Mile Bay on Trout Lake can be very calm some mornings.
The ripples distort the bare branches in a most interesting way.

Duchesnay Falls
Duchesnay Falls is one of the most photographed places in my town. I have visited many times but have always found that I have difficulty photographing it. What I produce is usually disappointing to me in expressing the experience. (The fault is mine, not the Falls.)
This photograph comes closer to what I want to share.
A change in the processing in Photoshop has made the difference in how the photograph appears.

The Cove
A favourite swimming area on Trout Lake is The Cove.
Yesterday was our first frosty morning of the fall and along with the frost came mist.
The water is too cold for swimming these days but it’s still a neat place to go on a sunny morning.

Low Water
All summer, Lake Nipissing has been about 2 feet lower than it normally is. In past years, wet feet would have been necessary to produce this photograph.
The spring melt happened so early this year that water that would have been trapped in the ground ran off to the Great Lakes because the ground was still frozen. Nipissing was not able to catch up over the summer and despite recent, rains is still behind.
Climate Change?

Go West
This is the mouth of the Lavase River, where it enters Lake Nipissing. For 150 years The Voyageurs paddled through this channel in the spring, on their way west to Thunder Bay on Lake Superior. The return voyage passed this point and ended up in Montreal in the Autumn. Lake Nipissing is controlled by dams on the French River these days, and there are navigation markers in place. However the place is pretty much the same as it would have been 150 years ago.
In the spring the water would be much higher than it is in this photograph, but by fall it would probably have been as you see it here.
