In between my other rides during those beautiful days last week I got down to the harbour two more times. On both days the clouds were striking, but otherwise the shore was very familiar. And our new library which was supposed to open Nov. 2nd so it could become another downtown destination, , STILL isn't open!
The usual view greeted me when I reached the harbour wall, with both the Hoey and the Glen still docked there.
And the clouds overhead were interesting.
I stopped just past the back entrance to Richardson's Boats and got this different view of Cape Rich (behind the Willows) and the bay.
These three lines of big boulders seem to say a lot about the shoreline we're creating in developed areas of the bay.
More clouds,
and my more typical view of Cape Rich.
But the small beach area that I would ride down into was covered in rocks thrown up by the waves 10 days ago and blocked off with caution tape and fencing.
Heading back I was struck by the juxtaposition of this White Birch and the distant white harbour light. The birch itself was pretty interesting too.
That was it for that trip - back downtown, a stop at the drugstore, and a ride back up the horrible sidewalk on Nelson Street. Yesterday was thoroughly miserable weather here - cold, rainy and very windy. Several things blown over in the back yard. Hope you're having better weather where you are!
I always so enjoy a walk with you to the water, those views, I could look at them every day and never get tried of the varying views and colours. Even in the Bay the waves must get very strong to throw up everything so far from the edge.Weather down here, daylight hours are getting longer, days are getting warmer, I am well, a slight change in tablets, one increased, and actually able to do some careful s=weeding in the garden. As we edge into summer you are galloping into winter,
ReplyDeleteIt's raining right now and supposed to keep it up until we get a huge windstorm to join the fun. So I know just what you're dealing with. Nice shots, I especially like that white birch.
ReplyDeleteWe had rains and high winds last night and this morning.
ReplyDeleteThat sky is beautiful, FG. Love the birches too. Hope you get down to the harbour again soon.
Nice clouds. I've never been able to identify various clouds, they're as much a mystery to me as many (but by no means all) fungi.
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing like being near water. Lovely trip!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cloud photos! Such blue skies!
ReplyDeleteA lovely collection of photographs, those cloud formations are brilliant :)
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
Loved the clouds. A real shame about all those rocks up on the beach area. C
ReplyDeleteAlways enjoy the different way Clouds appear.
ReplyDeleteGlad you didn't have our Wind.
Be Safe and Enjoy!
It's about time.
