Scrape, shiver....mutter...

Upper Kingsburg, NS

I haven't been taking many pictures lately, here's a typical winter morning scene.  I'm one of the few maniacs looking forward to the snow on Sunday.  Now where did I put my ski boots?........

A brave trekker ventures out on the frozen pond at the end of the blue trail.

If you haven't checked out these trail, you are missing out!  Here's a map to help guide you along your way.  It's a short drive from Lunenburg and Riverport.  The lookouts provide stunning views of Lahave and the Lahave river!

Ice Fishing in Sherbrooke, NS

Found this ice fishing video via http://novascotiafishing.com/
According to my fishing buddy, looks like the odd tommy cod gets thrown back into the hole.
Fishing gear used: Gibbs Minnow with a #2 Big eyed Hook with a snap swivel attached to the jig and the hook.

Now if only we could get some consistent ice conditions, I'll be trying my luck fishing for smelt once it's safe to venture out on the ice!

Winter Fun on Romkey Pond


Sigh....shot on the weekend, remember when there was snow? Where is that winter that I ordered!?! I was looking for any excuse to go surfing, sadly...the ocean did not provide said excuse.

If you squint, you might be able to spot the group of people having fun out on the ice. There was an auger involved. I'm assuming it was used to test the thickness of the ice and not for *gasp* illegal ice fishing.

note to self: must clean inside of my windshield...

Frosty windshield



I was treated to a gorgeous display of ice crystals on my windshield this morning. I'm sure the -15 C temperatures last night helped!

Snow buggying for the WIN!



This is how I spent my Sunday morning, kite buggying on a local lake. What a BLAST!
