There goes the sun

We’d had twelve hours of snow and high winds and it took a day to dig out. A sunny morning followed without a breath of wind. It was time for a walk along the boardwalk but by mid afternoon when we finally could go, the sun was covered with a thick cloud, so we thought. A rain storm was on the horizon as the temperature rose. 

The area had that calm before the storm feeling and the sun grasped for its last look through the clouds. The trees were an island in a sea of white.

From the gazebo, the cloud along the horizon had a hint of pink beneath a blue which faded into white. The sun tried its best to get through but to no avail. 

From another angle, the river, land and sea all appear as one.

As my husband and I walked the boardwalk, the pink near the horizon lifted and changed colour, making room for more blue. The mid afternoon February light resembled twilight.

Further along, the harsh weather has taken its toll on the deciduous trees along the shoreline. They stood out in stark contrast to the sea of white.

From the bridge, the cloud over the harbour looked like blue sky. The sun had disappeared.

This place provides something different with every visit.
