Shades of Grey

And not of the 50 variety, of which I have no interest at all. No, of the Confederation Basin Marina in winter kind.  :-)

I popped downtown early yesterday morning, before running errands in the west end, and with a chai latté in hand, snapped a few pics at the downtown marina. Grey on grey on grey, though the sun finally did make an appearance a bit later in the morning. We had a few centimeters of snow Saturday night, so everything looked fresh yesterday morning. Click to enlarge the snapshots for better viewing.

The Murney Tower, with Wolfe Island in the distance.

It was nice to be down there without masses of people.
There were only a few out and about.
 
  
The Spirit of Sir John A.
  
The ferry coming in.
 
  
Looking toward Wolfe Island.
  
Some of the Wolfe Island windmills.
  
Looking west of the marina at a waterfront path,
plus a zillion condos out of the frame on the far right.
 
 St. George's Cathedral (Anglican), from one side.
(Entrance is on the street at the far left, out of the frame.)
 
Coming home, I could see bunny tracks all through the snow,
hopping along quite a distance. I snapped this pic by my fence.
It was a nice little outing before catching the bus for errands. I had to push myself to go, because I've reached my tolerance level for winter and feel "blah" now, but I'm glad I did get out. I enjoyed it, even though I wasn't snapping pics of anything new. (Every winter I take the same pics at least once!)

I hope you did something enjoyable this weekend too!

Peace.

Beautiful photos, Kim. We are out of town, with relatives, for my uncle's memorial service. Although it's for a sad reason, it's great to be with family.

Lovely photos Kim! The sky looks beautiful. Great photo of the windmills. I noticed bunny tracks in our backyard yesterday and a little pile of something too!
Today the sun is beautiful even though it is cold.
Take care.
So enjoyed your photos! I got out this morning to take advantage of the sun that has been such a stranger for weeks on end. Will be clouding back up later with flurries. :(

I'm sorry....hugs! A bittersweet time for you.

I didn't see any piles of bunny poop with the tracks, but I'm sure there are lots of piles somewhere.

The day looks glorious--I've been inside since about 7:15 though, won't escape till about 4PM. But just having it brighter makes me feel better!

We have snow tomorrow too. Seems like we're under the same gloomy winter weather pattern!

Chilly scenes of winter... It's hard to believe that the same locations will be bright and colourful in a few months.

It was chilly, though I had extra layers on so was warm enough, except for my hands (being bare to snap the pics). Right now "a few months" feels like an eternity. Then I'll be complaining about the dreadful heat and humidity, with no a/c in the house. :-D

Thanks for the day trip. The pictures are great! Beautiful area.

Lovely photos Kim! Despite the grey on grey on grey...perhaps it would be easier to think you were shooting in black and white. Seriously, though I sometimes wonder how we make it through winter - but it does make me appreciate spring that much more.

We had a warmish day today, temps above zero with rain this morning. My driveway is nearly clear of snow. Not sure I want to look at the forecast.

Have a great week!
Kea said…
This IS a lovely area...particularly in warmer weather. LOL.

Yes, thinking it's black and white is good!

Even more than fewer hours of daylight, I miss GREEN and I miss flowers. That's the hardest part about our long, long, long winters.

Kim I think the photos are very beautiful. You know B/W photography is really a very creative way to express the art -- I know this wasn't traditionally b/w but it almost is.
