A smattering of snow up here on Askwith Moor and the north-east wind making it a chilly day for cycling. But the air is clean and fresh and the sun is out currently so - you make the most of it!
I like the cold weather, but yesterday it was -27 ºC (-16.6 ºF). I don't know if the entire city was that cold, but damn... that's cold. Right now, it feels like -20 ºC (-4 ºF). No one should be outside in that weather.
West Pond, Parsonsfield, Maine.
At a minus -13°F below zero we had a bit of frost on the windows this morning.
A couple days of heavy, cold rain and fog make for dreary conditions. A lot of snow remains, so that helps the scenery. I was too busy and didn't go to a waterfall as I had wanted. I'll hope for improved weather to do that soon.

Eleanor and TAZ are both dressed very warm for a week in Yellowstone, testing out lenses and warm clothing on the Farmington Bay Refuge. They have extended duck hunting season by a couple weeks so they are fewer Eagles here with all the Yahoos running around with guns. We will be looking for few good Eagles in the Lamar Valley next week. TAZ has her eye on a pintail here, they are gorgeous upclose, I need I need to post some Macro Pintails?
Another "test" but this time with some stitching (3 images) and resizing.

The Coney Island Polar Bear Club is the oldest winter bathing organization in the United States, whose members regularly take polar bear plunges in the winters. The club was founded by famed health advocate Bernarr McFadden in 1903.
The club began using the event to raise funds for Special Olympics starting in 2005, and Camp Sunshine in 2007. In 2018, the club decided to support local groups and charities and began partnering with the Alliance for Coney Island to raise funds for local nonprofit organizations.
Members swim in the Atlantic Ocean at Coney Island, New York, United States every Sunday from November through April. Every New Year's Day, the Club is joined by participants from around the country, who partake in an annual swim. The 2005 event had 300 participants and 6000 onlookers. The Chief Polar Bear blows a conch shell to gather the swimmers before they run into the water.
The club was mentioned in popular culture. It is mentioned on the season three episode of Seinfeld, The Pez Dispenser In the episode Kramer informs Jerry that he has joined the club, claiming it to be 'invigorating'. It was also publicized on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, in a taped segment by Dan Bakkedahl about the effects of global warming on the club in faux-nature documentary style.

Mermaid Parade
The MERMAID PARADE specifically was founded in 1983 with 3 goals: it brings mythology to life for local residents who live on streets named Mermaid and Neptune ; it creates self-esteem in a district that is often disregarded as “entertainment”; and it lets artistic New Yorkers find self-expression in public
Unlike most parades, this one has no ethnic, religious, or commercial aims. It’s a major New York holiday invented by artists! An American version of the summer-solstice celebration

This statue of a wild boar - I stand to be corrected if it's some other animal - is in the back gardens of Normanby Hall, along with the Dickensian looking lamps. The snow had fallen the day before and the mist and fog took most of the day to lift, so getting a moody black and white was easy - there wasn't any colour in the sky due to the mist.
