Frozen Wetlands

The previous day's freezing rain, left the entire area coated with a thick layer of ice on the snow. The trees were not cold enough to freeze up, but where it hit the deep snow, ice was everywhere.

Peering Into the Gulf

|

This time of year I had no interest in getting to close to the ledge. It was slippery, and easy to trip up on ice atop the snow that I was breaking through with the snowshoes. I always enjoy visiting The Gulf, and one of these days I will go down in it take some pictures, in the moist, damp gulf that never has much sunlight, leading to many unique and endangered species.
