Winter on the Canal

I haven't ventured very far this winter.  I am finding that when my day off rolls around, I am spent.  Bankrupt is a better word, I guess...

On occasion, I'll get off my couch, and venture to the side window to see what is happening in our neck of the woods.  I don't wander about in this cold...so you won't see any footsteps in the following pictures!


Above, is the view of the Lock.  The water flows constantly, making this a dangerous place to fish, and in the 4 years we have been here, nobody has ventured onto the ice, knowing it to be thin and unstable.


This is the view to our East.  I love the sunlight on the snow drifts!



Our flag has taken a beating this year, but look beyond to that beautiful blue sky.   

Winters in Canada are harsh, but for the most part, we can choose to stay inside.  And...you don't have to venture far to find beauty in any day!

  2. Good evening Wendy!... All sensible decisions on your part! The same has applied here in this neck o' the woods! The days have been sunny and bright enough... but the continuous winds create very unsafe wind chill situations. Best to just "hunker down" and paint inside!

    Good weather will come! Lovely photos! Thank you for sharing!

    Good Painting!
    Warmest regards,
    Bruce
