Brrrrrrrr minus 20........................

Not quite as cold in town because we have the Bay, never the less it was bloody cold. Laura H called last night because no school today. They had appointments so asked if we would have Tristen. Well YES heck yes. He asked her if he could come early rather than wait for the appointment time.So he got here around 10.30. We had hoped it would warm up a bit. So Cooper came up and they played for a time on the computer and upstairs in Tristens room. He found all his old school papers in the desk and had fun going through those and his old pictures from school. Cooper has one of the teachers Tristen had so they had that to chat about.
We went out and bought his Christmas gift finally. A nice little camera that he can take on our trips and put them on his computer. He never wants to take any of the things we get him back to Laura Hs house. Not sure what that's about.

The camera is waterproof and supposed to be strong. So after lunch and getting the camera charged off we went.

We went down by the Bay hoping to see some waterfowl but apparently it was too cold. None around.

So on our way to Logan's Landing we stopped by the river. We parked at the old library where there are steps down to the river. Well on one side was ice and they spent some time sliding down on their rumps.

We didn't stay long because it was so cold and wet bums and all that so off to Logan's Landing. No wildfowl there either. Then some geese flew in and I wish I had my phone ready but alas I didn't.

We had to be careful not to step in the water as it was not possible to see where land ended and water began

I love the textures.

Out of the cloud-folds of her garment shaken,
Over the woodlands, brown and bare
Over the harvest-fields forsaken,
Silent, and soft, and slow
Descends the snow.

A picture Tristen took of me. You know it's cold I am wearing a hat and gloves, I never wear gloves.

It was just too cold to hang about but at least we got out for awhile and Laura H was picking him up at 5 so after some strawberries, (he didn't like the veggie burger haha) it was time to go home. He asked us about the weekend but Laura said wait and see..........so we will wait and see

Great photos and yes it looks very cold. Lovely gift you bought Tristan. One that keeps giving over and over again in all the wonderful photos he will be taking, and sowing that seed for taking photos is a gift in itself. Can't get any better than collecting treasured memories :)
