Bond Head Light

 NOT snow but ice created by splashing waves on the light and pier

Yep, overcast skies.  But we have had some sun here, although not the day I took these photos.
True, this light is getting a bit rusty...but at least it still works.


 A little further back

I didn't walk all the way down the pier to take this photo but zoomed in on it. Trust me, it was icy and very slippery. The only critters brave enough to walk on the ice were gulls!   (Can you see one there?) I was standing on concrete and, although it was windy and cold, I was on firm ground. It snowed last night (and is still snowing today) so I'm sure it looks a bit different now.

 New snow on coneflowers

Anyone else thinking "Coneheads" right now?

    The lighthouse covered in frozen waves is amazing! I do hope you'll share your "snow cone" flowers with I Heart Macro:-)

    It always amazes me how something so treacherous can create the most beautiful scenes. Great shots!

    I love the color of this light!! And I have never seen anything like this, it is truly amazing. But the ice is on the wrong side! The side way from the waves! The side nearest the water is bare!! Hmmm, maybe this is an illusion because we can't really see the other side. In any case, it is truly spectacular.

    I love the cone flowers ... they look like an iceblock you could buy at the shop.

    I can see your world is very different from ours ... snow is a very rare and exciting event in our part of the world.

    Oh brr that looks very cold. Love the snow on the Coneflowers--where are my rings. Haha
    I mentioned you on my blog because you did give me the idea about using older homes on Rubbish Tuesday. We have so many older places here that it will be my focus for a while now.

    So cold and kind of scary. I guess that's because we don't really have a winter where I live. Very nice photos!
