On The Ice Surface
I proceeded on, walking along the ice from the university towards where Dow's Lake opened up, photographing the Canal ice and the Arboretum as I went along.
A look back showed how far I'd come from the vicinity of the Hartwell Locks.
Always good to go outside, no matter the weather, but frankly... I´m glad our snow is gone. I still have some pics to share, too, though - maybe in summer when it hopefully gets stinkin' hot!
Nice shots. Our snow is gone for now.
ReplyDeleteI am freezing when I look at your pictures ! We have a storm today for a change and 10°
ReplyDeleteStill a lot of snow!
ReplyDeleteAlways lovely to see.
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteLooks very cold there. The views are beautiful.
Have a happy day!
I clicked on your photos to enlarge them, and enjoyed them very much. I especially like the bridge.
ReplyDeleteHave a blessed day!

...here the ice is getting thinner and thinner by the day.
ReplyDeleteTwo days ago I noticed Snowdrops in the backyard and the ice has gone from most of the waterways - and by mid March that is fine by me!
ReplyDelete@Linda: we still have a good amount, but are presently in a status quo where it's above freezing in the day.
ReplyDelete@Gattina: eventually we'll get there.
@Sami: for the moment.
@Italiafinlandia: thanks!
@Eileen: thank you.
@Lea: thanks!
@Iris: I still have snow shots.
@Tom: I have noticed weakness on the ice of the Ottawa River this week.
@David: we're not there yet.
What a fabulous walk to be able to enjoy. Wonderful photos.
ReplyDeleteLovely wintry photos ~

Oh that definitely looks like a cold walk. I always feel very nervous to walk on ice, but all those skaters can't we wrong!
ReplyDeleteIs it comfortable to walk so much on snow capped streets?
ReplyDeleteNot many people around, it looks cold...
ReplyDeleteI saw flowers blooming yesterday and don't miss the snow but the canal with skaters looks wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI visit all arboretums.
ReplyDeleteI know that you love winter but I have to admit that I'm impressed by how long you can stay out in the cold.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that you turned around at the end, and started back!
ReplyDeleteIt's not only the live and snow, but the skies are great as well.
ReplyDeleteLots of space for a skate anyway.
ReplyDeletegood exercise i bet. glad u did share. ( ;
ReplyDelete@Gemel: thank you.
ReplyDelete@Carol: thanks!
@Shammickite: I never have a problem on Canal ice.
@Magiceye: this is comfortable. I tend to be wary on sidewalks, actually, always looking for a thin glaze of ice. That seems more slippery.
@Karl: it was a cold day.
@RedPat: we've got another day of above average temperatures here. Tomorrow evening apparently the temperatures drop like a rock.
@Red: this is quite an arboretum.
@Sharon: I love it.
@Maywyn: thanks!
@Barbara: it had been a long, long walk.
@Jan: I think so too.
@Marie: that's true.
@Beth: it was good exercise.
Beautiful winter photos!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteLooks like a stretch where you might be able to build up some speed.
ReplyDeleteIt is.
DeleteSuch lovely wintry scenes.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
Thank you!
DeleteNo hills to walk up and down makes for a nice walk.
ReplyDeleteAll flat.
DeleteFabulous series of winter captures here and last three posts William, a most welcome sight to me 💙
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteThat really is a lot of walking.
ReplyDeleteIt was.
DeleteFreezingly beautiful! But am glad I am only looking at it on my screen and not experiencing it first-hand!
ReplyDeleteI like the cold.
DeleteYou made tracks on this photo shoot! That's a hike!
ReplyDeleteI was knackered by the end of it.
