A dark , colourless day today with sleet instead of snow leaving everything look dirty outside so a bit of colour to redress that from a Wax Melt Burner that a friend bought me for my birthday .

Melting Ice...
February is always so cold and gloomy but not this year...a few weeks ago the weather was beautiful and sunny an untypically warm day for a drive to the Lake; a perfect time to take a leisurely walk along the lake shore, free from the hustle and bustle of typical weekend crowds.
This photo of a chunk of lake ice washed up on the shore, slowly shrinking away in the light of the warm winters sun... soon to be lost in the rocks and sand of the lake shore only to be reclaimed once again by the lake from whence it came..
Thank you for visiting for marking my photo as a favourite and for the kind comments,

A bleak, colourless winter vignette seems to be a good way to close off the year. I think this photo, from three years ago, exemplifies the look of this northern prairie in its darkest days. And yet... the tracks indicate life, thriving despite the cold and scarcity of food. I think of the Coyote that passed by, along the edge of a frozen pond: the remarkable sensory apparatus that allows it to locate the calories it needs; the finely-tuned physical form that can leap into action, often literally, as it does what it must do to survive.
Meanwhile, this morning two White-tailed Deer are bedded down in my garden, having spent the night scraping snow away to get at last year's weeds and tall grasses. They are doing me a favour, turning weeds into fertilizer. They are welcome here, provided they leave my garlic beds alone.
There is beauty in starkness, or at least there can be. But beyond that, I think it's the harshness of these winter months that makes us appreciate the rebirth so much: the greening of hills, return of the birds and warm spring breezes. Ten more weeks, give or take. Until then, I will continue to poke my lens into the various corners of winter, challenging though it may be. There is no lapsing into complacency here.
Very best wishes to all my Flickr friends in the coming year!

"Souvenir, souvenir, que me veux-tu ? L'automne
Faisait voler la grive à travers l'air atone,
Et le soleil dardait un rayon monotone
Sur le bois jaunissant où la bise détone. »…
"Memory, memory, what do you want of me? Autumn
Makes the thrush fly through colourless air,
And the sun casts its monotonous glare
On the yellowing woods where the north winds hum. »…
Paul Verlaine, French poet (1844-1896)
