Changing Seasons. It’s the first week of December, and where Cheri Lucas lives they are “… saying goodbye to fall and hello to winter. In other parts of the world, it’s snowing. And for our neighbors down south, it’s almost summer.”
I am sharing a picture here that means CHANGING SEASONS to me. It’s late autumn; we’ve already had our first snowfall but the lake won’t freeze over until the New Year …

although the first snow usually causes a major traffic chaos in this corner – if there is snow – it does look beautiful and peaceful to see it like this. thanks for sharing. 🙂

Causes a lot of chaos on the highways here too. It was wonderful to see it at the Lake … magical and benign!

I am remembering your dock with chair photo as I look at this one – what a lovely sequence in my mind. I can feel the hush of snow in this photo. Just lovely!

Hi, Gilly. This is a spring-fed, land-locked lake near Georgian Bay (part of Lake Huron) 15 minutes south of Parry Sound, Ontario. It has 65 klm’s of shoreline and yup, it will freeze 18 to 24 inches thick! When we were renovating the previous cottage on an island in Otter Lake, all the lumber was delivered by truck that drove across the ice and dropped the load on shore!

That’s a “chilling” photograph. I like the symmetry, black and white, and the heavy sky. Were you the first big kid to step out onto the beautiful blanket of snow and leave your mark?

Yup, big kid confesses, Mary, but not until I’d taken lots of shots. Liked this one best.
