Georgian Bay
"Life has loveliness to sell, all beautiful and splendid things, blue waves whitened on a cliff, soaring fire that sways and sings, and children's faces looking up, holding wonder like a cup." - Sara Teasdale
Stretching into the mist, Georgian Bays waters disappear at the horizon where ghostly shadows of distant islands loom. The rugged beauty of the cliffs provides a stark contrast to the always blue and mostly clear cool waters below. The temperature of the water on this day was a balmy 16 degrees Celsius, definitely a refreshingly cool dip for the few that dared to go in...

Holy crap. That's an amazing picture, Paul. I can relate to the temperature. Some of my best kayaking pictures were taken on very cold water just before dawn. The fog rising off the water as the pre-dawn sun starts to warm the air can be so beautiful.

I can see the gulls soaring drafts over that cliff. It would be a wonderful perch for watching birds, feeling wind. If I put my eyes close to the screen and squint, I'm there. Thank you Paul.
Oh, and Michele sent me with her dainty point.
