photos from the past 40 years
This is my contribution to the A Photo a Week Challenge: Texture.
At first I considered the obvious subjects, tree bark, ripples on water. It was the ripples on water that made me think of snow and ice.
Ice on Colpoy’s Bay at sunrise in early spring. At this point the ice had thawed a little and started breaking up before refreezing.
This is my contribution to Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Water.
Living close to Lake Huron and Georgian Bay in Ontario, Canada and having lived close to the Quill Lakes and Last Mountain Lake in Saskatchewan in the late 1990s I have rather a lot of photos featuring water to pick from.
So I had a ponder about the challenge and thought about the various states of water. So here is water in various states at different times of the year. All the shots are of Colpoy’s Bay, a bay on the much larger Georgian Bay and taken around sunrise.

I had a few ideas for this Lens-Artists Photo Challenge which is Unique.
It was only when selecting photos for the challenge that it occurred to me just how many are unique. So I decided to restrict my selection to photos taken around the Lake Huron shoreline in Southampton, Ontario, Canada, because that was where the first two photos I selected were taken.

A unique mix of Canada Geese and clouds over Chantry Island at sunset.
