Watery Wednesday/ Outdoor Wednesday

Posted by Lorac Tuesday 2 March 2010

Cant see the forest for the trees, but there is a sneak peak in the water! The sun felt warm on this day. It is starting to bring in spring. I could smell plants and water not just ice and cold!


Mirror images have always been some of my favorites. Our first signs of impending spring in Ontario, the warmer sunshine on one side but you can still see the icy cold on the shadow side! Yesterday it was +5 C but plunged to -10 C here last night. This is what we call Maple syrup weather!


So many gorgeous and interesting water scenes  to see at Watery Wednesday!

  6. Love the idea of maple syrup weather. Especially with apple and cinnamon pancakes. Reminded me of the last time in America's Deep South. Went into a typical restaurant and ordered, and waitress, being polite to all visitors, commented on the way I spoke and said she would love to speak like me..... terribly BBC British when I'm on my best behaviour.
    At the end of the meal she presented me with a wicker basket full of little bottles of maple syrup, a lovely memory.

  38. Hi Lorac

    your shots are lovely and I do enjoy seeing your side of the world...Do you call it maple syrup because the ice melts and becomes liquid...

    Happy days

     
  39. Lorac Says:
  40. Delwyn, it is actually the sap from Maple trees that contains sugar and it is boiled to make maple syrup. When the days get warmer but the nights are still really cold, that is when the sap runs best. So it is Maple syrup weather. Tomorrows post is all about Maple syrup!

     
  41. Lorac Says:
  42. Retired one,I will look for yours next week!
