You might think I'm crazy, but I went to the beach tonight, even though it was -10C/14F out. No, I didn't join a polar bear club - while I admire their pluck, I can think of much easier, less painful ways to die. In fact, I was properly outfitted for a cold evening in my heavy winter coat, zipped right up to my chin, a toque, and heavy duty gloves. Sasha of course came along dressed as she was. This looked like a nice place to get some shots when I passed by last night and that's how I came to be here late this evening.
Note: since we're out of town visiting with family I'm only able to post late at night and won't have time to visit your blog until we're back home later this week. I do enjoy reading your comments - thank you for your visits.

And there were all sorts of fabulous light displays there also; here's one of them.

Well that is mighty brave of you! I'd be scared of getting wet- at all. Freeze!
It's a beautiful capture there at the lake. That is one nice Beach Walk!
Brrr, I can feel the cold breeze coming off the lake! Fantastic photos! How do you get the stars to come off the lights like that? Do you use a filter? Enjoy your family, I won't speak for everyone but I'm sure that Dawn and I will still be here... Dawn I said I wouldn't speak for everyone, just us die hards! lol
Wonderful! Our beach doesn't look like this!
You are a brave soul to venture out in those temperatures. The beach is beautiful and the lights reflecting in the water is magical.
Nice reflections on the water. Possibly it would have been too cold for me to leave the house!
Love your light show Rick, and those dancing bears are good.
You must have been freezing! Your night captures are beautiful and warrant a lingering visit!
The first picture has a magical quality to it.
Blessings,Ruth
