Winter at Lake Simcoe

Lake Simcoe is the 4th largest lake in Ontario. It's about an hour and half north of Toronto. It's bustling in the summer with cottage folks spending warm summer months along its shores. It's good in the winter as well. The lake freezes and people enjoy ice fishing, hockey, snow mobile rides and cross country skiing on the lake.

This is taken along the shore of Lake Simcoe which is now frozen. Careful as some parts where water from in the inland flows to the lake is not solid. I can only guess how this sharp ice formation came to be.


Frozen waves
I call this the lonely willow tree.

Black and White version of the lonely willow tree.

The sticks mark the play/picnic area leading to the lake. With the lake frozen and the ground covered in snow, it's hard to tell where the water starts and the land area ends.
Cross Country skiers.
You can enjoy winter without the extreme sports like snow boarding or (hill) skiing. Cross country skiing and snow shoeing can be just as fun. 
Is this rock in land or on frozen water? Hard to tell eh? Taking this shot, low on the ground, I got scared as I heard a sound from under my feet. (Water gargle or bubble) I had no idea how deep the water under is, so I decided to walk back on safer grounds.

Outdoors in the winter is beautiful! Enjoy it. Bundle up and keep warm!

Due


My dslr has been gathering dust (yet again).  I always knew that I'd pick it up again and take it out in due time.  That time came couple of weeks ago.  Off I went (with Alvin) and forayed into maternity photography. My sister-in-law was supposedly due in a week then. 

The shoot was fun and though a bit rusty, we managed to get some decent shots. The whole family was a good sport and we all had some fun.

Here are some of the photos.

The fun and wacky side of everyone was evident in some of the photos.
Big sister is very excited and has been patiently waiting for the baby.

She promised to take care of the baby and volunteered to change diapers.
Soon, there will be tres Marias.
