It is so beautiful when the light from the sunrise reacts in the western sky. The moon was still high and visible as the sun was coming up and this alpenglow was such a breathtaking sight as I walked along the shore.
I was down at the bay for another walk with the wee laddie this afternoon. Another one of those days when you just have to keep moving…but it was bright again. It’s hard to imagine just how much spirits are lifted in the depths of winter when there is a little sunshine.
This tree is probably my favourite one in the areas I frequent. I adore its shape and the shade it’s provided over the many years. Sadly I fear this year may be its final winter, there was not much ‘leafing’ this past summer and many totally bare branches. That’s the thing about winter I suppose, during this season you would never know what this beautiful old tree is hiding.
The wee laddie spent a fun time hurtling down a slope with his sledge. It’s fun to see his confidence building in his skill abilities. After a while we thought we’d go hunting for big blocks of ice to drag home in the sledge…we found a few! I think they are from the ice monk activities.
We couldn’t forget to check on the little ice rink that the wee laddie’s dad and some of the neighbours have been creating by their beach. Buck had very kindly cleaned the surface with his ATV and plough while we watched…what great neighbours! Everything was looking good.
