cootes paradise - winter edition

in november i posted a photo of this part of cootes paradise when i went with christine @k1w1 and @northy on a photo trek in hamilton, ontario. http://365project.org/summerfield/365-still/2013-11-02

what a difference a season makes, that was just a little bit over two months ago. the lake has frozen solid - well at least it looks like it has as people were about skating on the other side of the bay.

i couldn't get the same pov as the photo in November because to do that i would have to go right next to the water's edge, which you wouldn't see due to a lot of snow covering the whole place. also, it is a rather steep incline to get there and as there was no one around this part of the water, i would not dare go down. when christine, northy and i went there, i had a hard time climbing back up. but with ice covered snow covering the whole place, i'm afraid i'd have to walk around the edge of the water to get to the parking lot where partner waited for me.

thank you for your kind visits and comments; know that they are truly appreciated.

btw this was shot in colour. :-)
@northy @k1w1 - the bay was frozen!!!

This really lives up to the saying "bleak midwinter". Beautiful but very cold looking.
