Old Man Winter

I am not a native of Canada nor did I ever live in an area with regular, prolonged winter weather. Consequently I've had little experience romancing the photography of ice and snow. We've had constant snow present since November, so this has been my year to embrace the challenge of winter art.

Sometimes the view is sheer minimalist:

Lake Ontario Freezing in Layers

Frozen Lake in Pastel

Other times, the more colors emerge:

Crystalline Lake

Lake Shore Layers

On a bright day, Winter is seductively warm.

February Morning

Across the Lake

Bridge to Wonder

The St. Lawrence Along the Parkway

There are subtleties to capture and activities to observe:

Skaters on Horsey Bay

Ice Fishing

Winter can be fearsome or delicate. It requires appreciation and deep acceptance.

I keep working to capture its beauty.
