Sunday Trees – January 7, 2024

Posted on January 7, 2024 by Mama Cormier

…now that winter is upon us, my tree photos are mainly of bare bones

On Saturday, it was so windy by the lake that not even the trees could shelter me from the biting cold.

Macro Monday – March 20, 2023

Posted on March 20, 2023 by Mama Cormier

…back to winter’s harsh climate

We’ve had several days of very severe winter weather…..snow, freezing temperatures and winds that make it feel even colder. All of this happened just days before the first day of spring. Hopefully soon I’ll be able to post macros of emerging plant life with some green and colour in it.

Macro Monday – Looking Forward to Spring

Posted on March 6, 2023 by Mama Cormier

….even though we haven’t had much winter

The signs are out there that spring is just around the corner but I doubt that Winter is done with us just yet.

Ice Sculptures in Nature

Posted on March 3, 2023 by Mama Cormier

…with all the wave action from the lake and colder temperatures these sculptures emerge

It’s been an unusually warm winter but we’ve had a few colder days and when the waves from the lake hit the shoreline and the trees these lovely ice formations take place.
