Saturday began with a short hike on the roads around the cottage before we were off to hang a collection of my images at a local mercantile gallery (but that's a story for another blog post). I was anxious to get out and see how the winter storms had transformed the landscape but it was work first and I spent the rest of the day relaxing and puttering about the cottage, clearing some more snow and then settling in after dinner to watch the Leafs game.
Lynn made the suggestion of a hike to Little Dunk's Bay for Sunday morning and I thought the trail would be if relatively good shape to hike without snowshoes. When we headed headed out around 8:30, large fluffy flakes of snow were falling heavily (if that makes sense). The snow had accumulated more than I anticipated and the trees were covered with thick marshmallow like clumps of snow that tumbled down on us now and then as we made our way on the trail. I was stopping frequently to photograph the scenes, trying to capture the feel of the winter wonderland we were passing through ... but it was when we came out of the trees that I was stopped dead in my tracks by the scene below.

For me and photography, this was a good day ... a very, very good day :-)
