Winter Splendour

Getting out each winter is one of the great joys of a photographer. And these last few years I have had a great time capturing the beauty of our part of Nova Scotia. Although this winter has been less severe, it has, nevertheless, provided us with some beautiful scenes to photograph.


Along the Northumberland Strait lies a park called Tidnish Docks. In the summer it is a favourite spot for swimming and sunbathing but each winter it transforms into a haven for photographers as the above photo attests.


Here the mighty Birches reach for the heavens!


Shadows draped across fields of pristine snow are one of the purest expressions of Nature's glory we are ever privileged to behold.

Between Amherst and Springhill we have an area called Fenwick. Here the woods are filled with Maple trees and each Spring the sap runs freely to the many Sugar Camps. But it is also home to numerous other varieties such as Beech, Birch and some fir. Here the trails lay laden with a heavy load of newly fallen snow.

Winter dons her cloak of white to beautify anything it touches.

Like a winter's canopy the branches of this mighty Spruce are spread wide and high.

Near Tidnish this river meets the ocean as it flows beneath its winter's mantle.

One of the most beautiful trees in the winter - White Birches!
