4. Better the ducks on this icy water than me, ha! Great capture, Laurie!

5. Is that red plant on the left dogwood? I can’t remember its exact name, but it certainly is a nice accent in the landscape.

   1. I am not sure. I will scope it out again next time I go to the Narrows.

      1. I found the plant I was thinking of. It’s Red Osier Dogwood — here’s a nice article with pics.

7. Beautiful picture…so calm. Just watching the news from the Capitol…

   1. What. A. Day. Heartbreaking. I will be writing about this in the next day or two.

8. I don’t usually think ‘magestic’, but that strikes me as majestic. Maybe it’s the tall trees on the other side.

   1. Yes, those dark, pointed evergreens. Very Maine.

9. Nice shot, Laurie. I like the zigzag of ice and wind-roughed water!

   1. Thanks, Eliza!

10. Hi, Laurie – Your photo radiates ‘cold’ perfectly! Great shot!

    1. Thanks, Lavinia!

14. You always have such a wonderful gift of finding great things to photograph and your photos often have red that is a true pleasure to see. This looks very cold and the ducks are so small before all the winter ice. Lovely!

    1. Thanks, Betsy!

15. A postcard perfect capture, Laurie! The ducks must be freezing!!!!

    1. Thanks so much! The ducks are built for the cold. 😉

       1. I imagine they must be! You must have been feeling chillier than they!

       2. Not too bad. Remember, I am a Mainer and know how to bundle up when it’s cold. 😉

       3. Loving Husband is convinced that people who grow up with distinct hot & cold seasons (neither he nor I – we both grew up in hot hot and more hot Singapore) develop superior coping mechanisms, physical and otherwise.

16. A lovely shot.

    1. Many thanks!

17. Beautiful winter scene and wonderful it’s within walking distance!

    1. We are so blessed to have this beautiful water within 1/4 mile of our home.
