Looking into the sun

This was such a beautiful sight, looking towards the sun at Gap Lake on Sunday, 20 January 2013. We had spent a bit of time there, looking for a pack of four Wolves that we had just been told about. Eventually, the animals appeared along the far side of the lake and I was able to get several very distant (as you can imagine!) shots. Most unfortunately, I received an e-mail later from the person who told us about the "Wolves", saying that it had now been decided that after all, these animals were Coyotes, not Wolves. Hugely disappointing, but we certainly enjoyed the temporary excitement - and seeing the beauty of this lake.

I've found myself saying several times recently that I almost think I'll actually miss this winter - when I said or thought these words, it was no doubt after we had had some beautiful, sunny, comparatively mild days. Today, however, I'm getting really fed up of seeing dismal, overcast days with the snow falling!! Yesterday was a beautiful, sunny day, but I had a volunteer shift, so it was spent indoors, wishing I was cruising the backroads outside the city : )
