Waiting for Winter

While I am patiently waiting for winter to arrive I have been reviewing some older winter scenes that I captured a few years ago on the Skeleton River in Muskoka near the town of Rosseau, Ontario. While going through some of these older images I came across a few that I had forgotten about and just now have taken the time to optimize the image files. I often enjoy visiting winter rivers to explore the frozen details that develop, especially during periods of extremely cold weather when the ice really has time to create interesting designs. By Christmas day the forecast is for temperatures of near +12 degrees Celsius and rain 😦 Hopefully we will get some decent snowfall and cold temperatures soon so that I can get out for some fresh winter imagery, but for now it looks like we are going to be having a green Christmas.
