Winter Wonderland....?????

Well, we are well into the month of February.  The weather is very unsettled and it is cold!!!!!  We have been having record low temperatures and lots of nasty weather.   I long for late March and early April, when the days are getting longer and there is some heat in that afternoon sun.  That is when we love to jump on the snowmobiles.....drive into a big pond and settle in for a day of ice-fishing with our fold-out chairs and some hot beverages.  You can't beat a winter tan---ha ha!!

But...in the meantime---we are still here, so we must grin and bear it.  On my drive back to St. John's on Sunday, this caught my eye.......





This is in the Clarenville area and is very pretty all year round.  I had to stop and take a few photos of the waterfall of ice.....I thought it was beautiful.  What do you think?
