Winter isn’t over yet

I live in a cottage along Lake Erie’s shore, about 300 feet from the water. Nothing but dune grasses between us and the water, but I can’t see the waves on the shore line.









Where the yard ends.

On my way to work I pass a section where the water is visible from the road.








Some of my favourite sun rise shots are taken there.








This morning there was a strong east wind pushing onto the shore. It’s about 20 degrees colder than yesterday.








Any members of the Polar Beer Club want to go for a swim?

Yes I do. I have my coffee and watch the sunrise. Then I have to drag myself off to work.

Folded rocks.

Image
One of the interesting yet unadvertised sites in Newfoundland is the folded rocks near Port aux Port. You have to ask locals exactly where they are and how to get to them but it is worth the effort. This formation is also called the Faults & Folds of West Bay Beach. "The folds of rock are related to the churning tectonic activity that gave rise to the earth's mantle hundreds of millions of year ago." For scale I am about 6 feet tall.

My Cat is Stranger Than Your Cat

Okay this is weird; I’ll give you that right up front. We got Maggie from an animal shelter so we don’t know her background. We have found out that, if you don’t latch the bathroom door securely, Maggie will come crashing in to visit. She promptly climbs into your pants and makes herself comfortable. Now I don’t normally take a camera into the bathroom, however, this is regular thing with Maggie so, now you know the story. Sam, the black cat wants to know what Maggie is doing. Sam seemed quite upset over the blow to feline superiority.
