A 52 week photo project interspersed with photos from the past 40 years.
I went down to Colpoy’s Bay for the sunrise on Sunday morning. I noticed an interesting cloud formation on the way. As it turned out the sunrise was almost nonexistent with very little colour due to the thick cloud. But I think that the clouds are interesting.
I was down at the Colpoy’s Bay shoreline for the sunrise a couple of times in week 19. As the sun rises around 6 a.m. at this time of year I was down there before 5:30.
The first morning was mostly cloudy with a wind so the water was quite choppy.
The second morning had a mainly clear sky. Less windy so calmer water.
A couple more photos I was considering for week 18 of my 52 week photo project.

And a three bird version of my pick for week 18. I actually prefer the arrangement of the birds in this version but prefer the colour and ripples in the other photo.
Week 18 was originally titled two ducks but the head and neck of the leading bird makes me think that they could be a Grebe species. They were out on Colpoy’s Bay and silhouetted by the rising sun. The photo is more about the light and ripples on the water, the birds are there for context.
Or a row of old wooden pilings sticking out of Colpoy’s Bay at sunrise.
This section of Colpoy’s Bay was covered with ice a week ago.
Colpoy’s Bay, Ontario at sunrise. Most of the bay is still frozen although you can see some open water at the mouth of the bay.
Strangely, a few hours after the photo was taken I was on the Lake Huron shoreline which was ice free around Southampton, Ontario.

It’s no use putting up “No Fishing” signs if the Great Blue Heron chooses to ignore it.
