Greetings my Friends!
The winter is not leaving us just yet here in Ontario, therefore we must make the best of it. One of the fun activities to do is skating, although, I am not putting on sates anymore lol. I went for walk instead and took some photos of frozen lake and surroundings, while the boys were on the playground. They were not to eager going skating at first neither, because they are not very good at it yet π. However, practice makes better, so hopefully they will be skating like pros in no time. Nevertheless, first I would like to share with you some winter beauty on a sunny day.
Mind you, it was -17C and my fingers were frozen even while wearing gloves. Also, my lens was getting fogged from my breath and I was having hard time getting it into focus. Especially macro!
However, somehow I did it!
I remember being at this location called Chinguacousy park at summertime about five years ago. This is a boat rental building and you can go for a ride under the bridge to a Lake Ontario. Besides that, there is lots of activities happening there for kids and adults.
Looks like the Canadian geese stayed even over the cold winter. I guess they got used to it. I was trying to capture more of them, but they were baiting on the other side of the in melted water. It was too far and in the shade.
And here we are, finally at the skating ring, which during the summer is a splash pad. It is a very cool place!
Go Nicholas!
My two winter games champions! On the photos it looks like they know what they are doing, but the reality it's another story π
It was a beautiful sunset too, although, by that time I was completely frozen. Luckily I was able to warm up my fingers in the bathroom under the hand dryer!
I hope you enjoyed our beautiful winter, as much as I did, minus the cold! Thank you for visiting and have a wonderful week πππ

How happy are kids when they skate, there is something special about the winter atmosphere.
I used to love skating! But my grandsons not so much, lol. Maybe when they get older. Thank you so much @triplug πππ
Always happy to read that someone had fun and you document it with a very nice photos as well!
Thank you so much Andy, so happy you like it. It means a lot!
Your photos make -17 look beautiful haha but I'm not going outside today. In fact I will stay in aside from going to work and stores, for the next 2 months. π
I know what you mean Carolyn, lol. I am inside most of the time too! But I hope it will be less than 2 months.
So true haha.
Oh you must be counting the days! Although it looks like your grandsons are having a lot of winter fun Lena
Yeas I am Trace, lol. This morning was snowing again! Luckily not too much. And yes my grandsons are having fun not mater what season, but they do prefer swimming over skating π
Yes, the children have fun, our lakes don't freeze over, it's always too warm during the day, I'd really like to go ice skating and they're waiting in the attic for maybe someday there will be ice againπ
You must have indoor ice ring. I know it's not the same, but better than noting πππ
Unfortunately there isn't one near meπ
