Roy Brown Park

A day after our Riverside Park Walk, we trundled over to Roy Brown Park which is near to Riverside. It was also a very bright and cheery day, in which I had decided to use my normal lens and not my long telephoto. Of course, that had to be the one time this year that I spotted the swans. But they were probably too far off even with my long lens.

Just inside the park, we spotted this tree. It looked better in person. I would have needed to get closer and off the packed-down path to get a better photo, particularly to get past the stray branches to the top right. But I wasn't about to attempt that. Still, I think you get a general idea of how good the tree looked witht he light hitting those snowy branches.

We took the path to the right of the above photo and then found a little access down to the river. In the middle of the photo, there is a little white spot, which is one of the swans. And that is the only reason to include this picture. lol

While walking along the woodsy paths we came across a few spots where the light picked up the evergreen trees nicely.

Through a gap there were two brightly lit birches (or a double-trunk single tree). Someone had broken a little trail that way but not enough for me. I stayed on the more used and more packed path.

Upon exiting the park, I decided to photograph the view across the river with the cattails in the foreground. 

As I write this on Saturday morning, it is overcast and snowing fairly hard, so there will probably be no walkies today. There may, however, be some shovelling.
