Couple of shots

Spring has yet to impose itself on this part of the world although the ice left along the banks of the Humber has almost all melted. A sad testament to the nursery trees torn up by the ice is the spiral plastic protectors which somehow have remained.

Native trees were planted here two years ago - some didn't make it through the winter.

This weather-beaten piece of driftwood was left behind by melting ice and has a nice texture.

Tons of material gets left behind when the ice melts.

A good variety of birds was making the most of today’s strong sunshine. This robin posed nicely for me.

This one seems well fed!

Humber River Braces for thaw.

A mild day on the Humber.

The January thaw is upon us; rain expected tomorrow will likely clear the rest of the snow from the park along with ice from the river which floats ashore progressively as a temporary dam is formed and water pressure builds. Large chunks of the ice often end up stacked along the riverbank in huge piles. Little possibility of that this week as the ice is quite thin and may simply disperse down the river.

Today with a low sun and mild weather, Raymore Park is a photographer’s paradise.
