Yesterday after physio we picked up sandwiches at Tim's and drove down to the bay to have lunch. It was a dull grey day, but the first icicles that we've seen this season had formed on the trees, after the cold night and some wave action splashing up on the trees. There will likely be much more over the winter.
We had woken to a dusting of snow, evidence of the cold night.
It certainly was a grey day on the bay with no waves today.
When we arrived on the shore to eat lunch we found these icicles.
They're really just getting started, but undoubtedly they'll come and go, and grow, over the winter. These ones are looking dirty from washing off bits of loose bark.
There are 3 more icicled trees, but they're all beyond the barrier closing off the beach area.
This looks pretty typical for November days here to me. But today is up to 10°C, and tomorrow may hit 13, so the ice will be all gone. I may even get out for a short ride this afternoon!
That certainly was a gray day -- thanks to the gray days November is, to me, always the most depressing month. Neat icicles, quite impressive for one night's work.
ReplyDeleteyou are so brave...i would have eaten that sandwich in the car!! the icicles are gorgeous, the cold came in here overnight but it is suppose to be 60 over the weekend. no complaining here!!!
ReplyDeleteI was taking the pictures from inside the car!
DeleteThat last shot is quite dramatic.
ReplyDeleteHere it's felt like it was below freezing, but not by much, today.
I remember icicles from previous years, and I loved seeing them once again, glad you are sharing them with your admirers (I'm one). :-)
ReplyDeleteThe icicles are amazing but my favorite picture is the last one.
ReplyDeleteThe temperature is up and down here this year too. We’ll take the warm any day. Great idea to take lunch and go by the water to eat!
ReplyDeleteLooking very wintry, pretty, but too early. C
ReplyDeleteThe bleakness of the second picture appeals to me for some reason.
ReplyDeleteThe icicles that have formed on the trees near the water in the other pics are amazing.
It is incredible how splashing waves can freeze in such a formation. The slow drip drip of an icicle would be nice on film too.
ReplyDeleteThat last picture does not warm me up to winter, FG! ha ha
Yes, it is the season for icicles alright and along these Great Lakes shorelines we are so fortunate to see so many of Mother Nature's handiwork.
