Family at Oshawa Harbour
Last Monday was Family Day in Ontario, a day when many workers had the day off to spend with their families and/or do whatever else they wanted to.

Luckily it was a sunny day! And the temperature was quite tolerable.

"Temperatures was quite tolerable." But notice the attire on these fishermen. Shades of Ralph Lauren, wouldn't you say?
I couldn't stop looking at the first image. Those ice formations are stunning.

it was nippy cold that day, but at least the sun shone!!!
The ice does some amazing things by the shore.
Those swans must be used to photographers.
Family Day - what a nice idea. Looks pretty cold to me but the people you show seem to be enjoying it.

I see remnants of that incredible ice still lingering in the top shot. I love your remark on the 'tolerable' temperatures, then seeing the incredible gear on the fishermen:)
Great idea and certainly your subjects took advantage of the day.
a class from my past said a photo should tell a story without words.. all three of these tell a story... they are wonderful...
What a wonderful thing to have FAMILY DAY! Love your photos!
I have to laugh, you probably think above freezing is tolerable EG whereas I think anything under 30C is bearable :)
wow, great ice formations!!
wonderful shots!
Okay, now you're pulling my leg! Temperatures were "tolerable" with those people all bundled up in all that clothing? I don't think so! :-)
Beautiful shots, though and it does look like a nice, very cold day.
Re your question: The binocular effect is easy - I used a Photoshop filter plug-in.
the ice! wow!
What a tough bunch of people you Canadians are.
Looks like everyone had a fun day!
We should have Family Day here in the US. Your second photo makes me smile. Great capture.
Family day - what a great idea! We need that here in the US. Nice photos - it looks really cold in your neck of the woods.
Cold, but so beautiful!
Folks in the east might have had more consistent snow over the winter. But BC did not escape the flakes this weekend!
Love, love the lighthouse and the swans! Fishing in cold weather is not for me.
That ice on the beacon is really dramatic. Nice shots !
Great snow and icephoto.
Here it is already spring.
Have a nice week.

The sun certainly makes a difference - now if only the wind would quiet down a bit!
Looks like a beautiful winter day. The sun does make it pleasant to be out with the family.
Groan why are they in camouflage? Am I the only one thinking that they look like a pair of cavemen? :-)
Wonderful and amazing photos ~ Family Day ~ smart ~ wish USA had one ~

That all looks so very cold! I especially like the photo of the swans and the person without the glove on the hand - I wonder how the hand felt by the time the photos were taken!!
I'm not sure I would be able to rate the temperature as 'tolerable'. Those ice formations do look amazing though.
we should have a family day here in usa also.
ooohhhh i like that...a family holiday with only family in mind. your images are beautiful!!
and wow, that's a lot of ice and iciles!!
Canadians are hardy!
Oh, these look so cold!
So what exactly was the temp? Brrrr...... MB
The ice is truly amazing.
Nice photo but I have to tell you that I think Family Day is a great idea. I love the concept.
Love the first photo!!
Looks like you all had an amazing time. I like the idea of a family day.
A day in the calendar marked specifically for Family! That is so wonderful! We don't have any such day here.
Great captures of fun and outing.
You did a great job with photos expressing what this seasons winter has been like.
Reminds me of the North Pole. Goodness, that's some serious snow and ice!
It is amazing the way birds/animals are created in such a way that they can withstand such frigid temperatures … I marvel at how graceful the swans are in that icy water!
Love the lighthouse shot!
What a nice holiday and nice to see people observing it. Temps were easier to deal with, but now we are back in the really cold air as I am sure you are....Michelle
Beautiful bird photos, especially the pintail duck, such lovely shading on the feathers. I feel for them in the cold, it is truly amazing how they can withstand all the freezing temperatures!
I think it is awesome you have this family day as a holiday!! Always nice to spend time with your family and outdoors. Love the swans. Enjoy the rest of your week!
*brrrrrr*
Looks so cooooooooold !
