Mild December Weather

 Bridge to Aubrey's island

This morning My husband and I visited friends who have a pond on their property
.
 Seen from the island to northern shore of pond

LOOK! No ice yet!

 Weeds, pond in background

This is a little dark because the sun kept coming out and going in.

Peeling birch

One of the joys of this time of year is seeing the natural peeling of birch bark.

    The second one is my favourite, it's gorgeous. So what happened to the white fluffy stuff?

    You certainly are enjoying beautiful weather there Tina. We are in storm mode tonight and tomorrow with ice pellets and freezing rain. I'm praying the power doesn't go out as it would be very dark, cold and lonely. Hubby is in PEI and may have to stay overnight! :(

    A nice collection of early winter images. I suspect that "real winter" will arrive with a vengeance before long.

    I feel like I'm in some kind of a time warp with our everlasting October. Sure makes the driving easier, though. I like the frothy weeds and the birch bark blowin' in the wind.

    Well...we had a skim of ice on our tiny seasonal pond this morning (it melted). I suppose dragonflies could have ice skated on it.
    What a pretty setting this is! Very nice shots!

    You have started out with a mild winter.

    Beautiful shots.

    If you do get snow, please keep it in Canada. We don't want any Canadian snow in Oklahoma please;)

    It's the same here in Sweden...
    Both autumn and winter has been very mild so far. Today we had some frost and even that made me happy! ;-)
