We took Hwy 607 up to Dry Pine Bay and Meshaw Falls.   This was taken from the new bridge over the Murdock River, looking north to see the first ice huts of the season.   Palatial!!

This morning we got another 15 cm of snow as a major Lake Effect streamer stalled over Britt for a few hours …screen-shot-2017-01-09-at-11-49-43-am

So it is time to get out of the driveway and explore the newest version of our winter wonderland.

  1. Hi Hi and thank you for those lovely Winter Wonderland compositions – the “textures”, the “bubbles” and MY road. In the lighting of Winter, not easy to capture that ephemeral essence. xoxo
