go with the floe...

so after the deep freeze of last week we are now experiencing the great meltdown ;p this is from yesterday... the ice in the marina is breaking up and the swans seemed quite happy to congregate on the undulating ice floes... i have a largish collection of "ice" shots which i will probably post throughout the week unless inspiration strikes...

[Trinka]

Love this!

[Marnie]

Magic shot. Love that caption.

[Walks @ 7]

Not something you expect, Swans on ice. Glad you are warming back up.

[LaniK]

Lovely, interesting and informative

[haskar]

Great b&w shot.

[Graeme Stevens]

Looks a bit chilly.

[Brigette]

My feet are cold just looking at this

[Dawn]

Oh that's cold and the duck ? looks a little unsure

[JackieR]

Glad it's warmer for you, great punny title

[Babs]

I don't think our Australian black swans would be able to cope with cold like this, they make swans hardy in your part of the world.

[Shanne]

interesting capture with the swan serene among the choppy floes

[Lynda McG]

Fav!

[Joan Robillard]

Wow talk about cold feet. We are getting the thaw here too. Great for the Pats parade in Boston.

[Humphrey Hippo]

The swan looks so unimpressed by the ice. :)

[Jennifer Potter]

Love the bird on the ice flows! FAV!

[Krista Marson]

looks like he's frozen in place

[Mandy]

Great shot! Love the way the swan appears to be looking to say what the heck happened here!!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Perfect shot for both February and for Flash of Red. What bizarre weather- it's 70 degrees F. here today! fav

[Jane Pittenger]

Brrrrr

[CC Folk]

Brrr...fav.

[Jennifer Eurell]

Fabulous. Where are you?

@jeneurell tx! I’m in Toronto Canada... this was taken at the marina by Humber Bay park west in Etobicoke (if you know the area)...

[summerfield]

wow! you got nice ice floes over there. at harbourfront, to my surprise, the water is still covered with ice, despite the higher temps. we may experience yet another flooding in the spring. and you've got a swan. in my post today i got a stranded ferry and a lady duck!

must go on a photo-walk soon. but i have writing class on sundays until early march so i can only go on saturday or evenings until then.

[Jacqueline]

Beautiful photo!

[☠northy]

@summerfield i could probably do a Saturday afternoon or evening... i was sick last weekend, but hopefully this weekend will be better...

[Lisa Pouncy]

Almost didn't see the swan!
