Not as Cold as it Looks

 Fishers enjoying blue skies and sun

Okay, it would feel cold to you if you live in Florida but the days here have been noticeably warmer to ME!  Daytime temperatures have been above freezing and ice and snow are melting!  It feels a bit colder right next to the lake, though. These fishers appear to be wearing enough clothing to keep them feeling toasty.

Ducks and gulls are finding fewer ice flows to stand on

Spring truly is just around the corner. But we won't be seeing crocuses and daffodils for a while yet.

I am linking to Sunlit Sunday HERE

    It must be a nice feeling to see the sun and blue skies.

    Looks like a popular fishing spot EG, how cute the ducks on their ice floats. Still looks mega cold to me here sitting in 30C :)

    It's all in your point of view, isn't it?!
    Amazing how 5 C. can feel warm. The sun is much warmer. Such a relief!

    These are both cold images. But so true of northern winters.

    It may be a teeny bit warmer but I'm still feeling cold! Not putting the sweaters and woolly socks away just yet.

    Blue skies and sun are always welcome - especially on a cold day.

    A nice island of ice for the ducks … I wonder how they cope with the cold floor at their feet.

    The water is such a pretty shade of blue. Bright sunshine always makes me happy (unless it's 105 in the shade). It's still neither/nor here. Rainy and dreary. Come on spring!

    My first thought you know was oh yeah, it's freezing out there. But living in a winter-wonderland myself I know days that in a photo you'd think we'd be freezing- and yet, it's a rather warm day, for a change! Just really snowy! Ha! Ha!

    It does look cold and since we are in the mid 50F here again I will say "it does look cold".
    Early Spring here---what's next?

    My first thought was that the fishers needed to be extra careful so they don't slide down the snowy rocks into the water. Beautiful photos.

    I sure hope those fishers are wearing survival suits while standing on that snow pile. I'd be afraid of slipping into the frigid water. What a great photo!

    Ah, cold, but beautiful and I have to admit, it does look warmer than some of your earlier shots!! Love that blue sky!! Have a great new week!!

    Those are dedicated fishers, EG!
    I went by the house where I always see the first crocuses and snow drops of the spring and sure enough, up against the south-facing wall there were crocus leaves popping through the dirt. I'm hoping they may have flowers within the next week or so!

    Beautiful shots! Spring seems elusive here, considering we woke up to extra snow here today.

    Oh they look so nice on those colored suits. The floating ice seem to be their boat.

    Is that a small lighthouse? And the water is so blue! So many fishers on that one iceberg!! What a great image.

    The water looks so pretty and blue next to the snow. I'm always reminded of our different English styles when I see "fishers."

    Yep, I bet it is cooler near the water. Looks enjoyable to be there though. We had coffee on the front porch and ate our burgers out there his evening, and I hung clothes out on the line! Spring has begun....I hope!

    It looks pretty cold to me and I can't imagine standing there on that ice, duck or fisherman. Thank goodness Spring is almost here.

    Looks like people know how to dress warmly up there! Reminds me of a meme I saw of 48 degrees in Florida with everyone bundled up in winter coats, and 48 degrees in Michigan with everyone in sweatshirts and tshirts enjoying a bbq. I'd guess the same applies to where you live!

    You're right, it does look cold, but as you say, the days are getting warmer and I'm looking forward to the sun rising a bit earlier.
