In Icelandic, Glacier Lagoon is called Jökulsárlón. The place is magical, and the mood of the lagoon and big broken pieces of the glacier depends on the weather conditions. The floating glaciers, calmness of the sunset, and water forming a layer of ice in this image must not be taken for granted. Looking for some colours, sunset and calmness, I visited this place three days in a row. I was disappointed in terms of photography, but I was blessed with an opportunity to view some amazing moments during snow and strong wind. The lagoon takes a new shape everyday because the ice keeps moving towards the sea. Instead of the sea, we even witnessed the ice blocks flowing back into the lagoon at a steady speed and colliding with the others. When these mighty giants collide, the cracking sound, the slush and water splashing all over the show are a beautiful but fearful sight. More so if millions of tiny ice crystals, producing a shattering sound float towards you in a ripple effect.
Cold weather brings an icy coating to bracken on a West Cumbrian Nature Reserve, creating some beautiful patterns on natural architectural forms.
When I fill the mealworm feeder lots of birds show up to enjoy these tasty and nutritious treats.
They line up in the surrounding trees, bushes and on posts, waiting their turn at the mealworm feeder, like this sweet Eastern Bluebird who was ever so patient!
It’s been a long time since we’ve had this snow here. Nice to look at, but not so great when you have to be on the road… And of course, I have to drive all the way up north today - Ghent, Belgium

Trembling Aspen, Eagle County, Central Rocky Mountains, Colorado, Late Summer Afternoon.
Aspen groves are native to cold regions, including at high elevations in the mountains. They are deciduous trees with flattened leaves (petioles) that decrease aerodynamic drag in gusty winds. Their bark is photosynthetic and has lenticels for gas exchange through the bark. Their root system is made up of spreading rhyzomes, which allows the aspens to develop clonal colonies.
This leaning tree that first grew downward and then upward is an example of how aspen trees adapt to moving soils, especially on mountain sides and ledges. This activity is called geotropism, or gravitropism; the tree's growth response to the pull of gravity. Fascinating to see several of these leaning trees at once!

Long Pond, Parsonsfield, Maine.
The hard winter freeze has come to Parsonsfield over the past few day's bringing record setting cold and strong North West winds.
Wind blown water spray on Long Pond has created many ice formations along the eastern shoreline.

The Parc National des Pyrénées is a national park located within the French départements of Hautes-Pyrénées and here above the Pyrénées-Atlantiques. Located along the border of France and Spain is a scenic and mountainous landscape offering a variety of outdoor activities including hiking, skiing, mountain climbing and observing wildlife. According to the Pyrénées National Park website, the park, created in 1967, is a natural heritage without barriers or fences where animals are totally free. Devoted to preserving biodiversity and landscapes, studying wildlife and plant species, the park is home to 70 different species of animals. Animals like: ermine, stoat, bear, desman, pine marten, wild boar, fox, lammergaier or bearded vulture etc. Only the bear's situation is worrying, their numbers have been steadily declining for the last 30 years only 6 individuals left today. The eastern portion of the national park forms part of the French section of the Pyrénées - Mont Perdu World Heritage Site that straddles the border between France and Spain. The oceanic influence gives the French, Northern slopes a mild and humid climate while the Southern winds give the Spanish slopes an arid look.
The Pyrenees are one of the last wilderness areas of Central Europe and can only really be appreciated on foot. Using the extensive network of paths and remote mountain refuges, walkers can quickly find themselves miles from civilisation and surrounded by the spectacular beauty of the mountains. Photo taken at the Parc National des Pyrénées - Mountain Range of Atlantiques, France. Samantha and BieJee were high up in the Pyrenees at 1740 m enjoying the fresh mountain air and our easy way down.
Parc national des Pyrénées is een nationaal park in de Franse departementen Hautes-Pyrénées en hierboven de Pyrénées-Atlantiques. Dit berg- en schilderachtige landschap bevindt zich op de Frans-Spaanse grens en biedt een heel scala aan buitenactiviteiten zoals wandelen, skiën, bergbeklimmen en het bestuderen van de fauna. Volgens de website van het nationaal park Pyrénées is het park, opgericht in 1967, een natuurlijk leefgebied zonder belemmeringen en hekken voor dieren zodat ze kunnen gaan en staan waar ze maar willen. Door de toewijding om biodiversiteit en landschappen te behouden alsook het bestuderen van wilde dieren en verschillende soorten planten is het park het thuis voor 70 verschillende soorten dieren. In de Pyreneeën komen nog bruine beren voor maar flink afgenomen de laatste 30 jaar. Volgens de laatste gegevens zijn er nog maar 6 over, meestal op de rand van het hoogste punt. Dit gebied deelt de bruine beer met marmotten, Pyreneese antilopen, sneeuwpatrijzen en watermollen. De watermol wordt ook wel de Pyreneese Desman genoemd en is een nachtdier met zwemvliezen en een spitse snuit. Het is één van de zeldzame diersoorten die alleen in Frankrijk voor komen. Op hogere hoogte leven ook de gems en de steenbok. Naast de vale en de Egyptische gier is de Pyreneeën ook de woonplaats van Europees grootste gier; de lammergier. Deze roofvogel heeft een vleugelwijdte tot drie meter. Deze dieren zijn buiten Afrika alleen in de Pyreneeën te zien. Ook kunt u in het park meer dan 1200 soorten flora aanschouwen, daaronder voornamelijk de lis, de valeriaan, de affodil en de Ramunde. Dit is een bijzonder stukje wereld waar u met respect voor de natuur, naar mag kijken. Honderden kilometers gemarkeerde voetpaden komen samen bij vele berghutten waar u, tijdens uw bergwandelingen, zelfs kunt overnachten. Overal in het water van de rivieren, de bergmeren, en de beekjes ziet u bronnen van leven. Er is een informatiecentrum over het Nationale Park aanwezig, om aan het publiek de rijkdommen van de natuur te laten zien en iedereen te overtuigen dat dit alles behouden moet blijven.

Well, we where back into the cold today with a high temperature of only 33°F and a north west wind that was gusting up to about 45 MPH.
Tonight's forecast is calling for snow showers this evening. Becoming clear later. Low around 5°F and Winds NW at 10 to 20 mph.
For the weekly theme whither the weather. Both in C (what we use here in Canada and in F for those south of our boarder and other places that still use the F scale).
I know it’s a screenshot and not a photograph per say but, I don’t see myself heading outdoors to take my photo a day so I can do other things on my "list of things to do that I am procrastinating about" . So, with tthat this will be my "photo a day" for today in retrospect - after all, I am looking at this 365 as a photographic diary of sorts for me.
As it’s supposed to “warm up” starting tomorrow until Wednesday with temperature highs of -10 or so. Oooo almost beach weather. … Not!!! But, I will be back outdoors to take some photos no doubt.
I see pintails do this every winter when it gets cold. Cracks me up every time. Effective however. They are trapping air between the feathers to increase insulation and hold in body heat.
