Georgian Bay Waves
Out late on a local garden tour tonight, so here are some quick pictures from Georgian Bay the other day. We stopped by on the weekend, to drop off more books at the Net Shed, a book donation/purchase operation run by volunteer friends of the Meaford Library. I'm working really hard at downsizing my library!
It was a stunning deep blue sky, but the nearshore water was muddy from the Bighead River which enters the bay just to the right.
There was a really sharp line between the muddy water of the river and the deep blue water of the bay. And I caught a Cormorant flying by just as I took the picture.
Remarkably, it was in pretty good focus to allow this heavily cropped picture.
The waves were really rolling in on the rocks, so I stood there and tried to capture the splashes.
My last picture made me realize how many sailboats were out there once I got the image on the computer screen. I'm going out to chase a few more pictures before giving you another crops update.

That is a beautiful blue sky, for sure. The water is sort of murky looking, is that because it's being churned up from the bottom? Just wondering. :-)
ReplyDeleteDeep blue below, and a cloud or two, picture perfect!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful place to live close to. Carol
ReplyDeleteLove this set of photos. The colours are gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI so want to visit Georgian Bay! It always looks lovely in your pictures.
ReplyDeleteAlways loved the years we spent on Georgian Bay so many great memories, between Wasaga Beach and Collingwood. Boat trips to the Shipyards, lighthouse Island and to Wasaga, The beauty of the Bay is always wonderful.
ReplyDeleteHello, pretty views of the water and waves splashing. Great capture of the cormorant. I love the last shot with the sailboats. Happy Thursday, enjoy your day!
ReplyDeleteLovely photos . It has been eons since I have been in Meaford I remember it as a very tiny town with a marina and a few ma and pa shops way back in the 70s , my cousin used to live up there then and I went there for a week or two in the summers . Thanks for sharing , have a good day !
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures of the bay. I can almost feel the splashes as I look at your photos.
ReplyDeleteThat is quite a difference in the color of the water.
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job of capturing the water splashing up on the rocks.
I've been downsizing my library too, so I don't have to move so many books when we move.
Hello!:) Beautiful sea views, and a great Cormorant capture. I like the last image with the six sailing boats in one shot.:)
ReplyDeleteIncredibly beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThe splashes are the best part. You have some beautiful landscapes there to photograph. Your photographs are always amazing!!!
ReplyDeleteNice action shots of the waves crashing on shore!
ReplyDeleteThose are some nice photos, good shot of the bird too.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I find myself wondering if the line where the river water becomes more blue might also be where the bottom gets deeper.
ReplyDeleteIt looks delightfully cool, clear and refreshing (sort of sounds like a beer commercial, doesn't it:-), unlike the hot, hazy, humid and steamy conditions we've had recently here in extreme southwestern Ontario.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful opening shot, and interesting to see the huge color difference between muddy water and clear water!
ReplyDeleteHi Furry...
ReplyDeleteGreat shots of the waves.
Lake Erie gets the same muddy appearance close to shore when it has been rough for a few days.
Not much rain down here....we need some!
Cheers!
