MacNeill’s Brook Shore

MacNeill’s Brook empties into the Gulf of St. Lawrence on the central north shore of Prince Edward Island. The beach attracts attention at this location.





The stairs to the beach are pulled up now in anticipation of the winter storms. The sea looks cold but it is warmer than the land at this point in the season. It is -2 C today and there is a light breeze.


Snow clings to the cliffs, 





evidence of the first snowstorm of the season and it covers the shoreline, though the beach is bare. In several areas, sea foam gathers along the intertidal zone. 





The roar of the sea and the fresh salt air are invigorating!


My husband and I stand for a few moments, cozy in our winter gear as we listen and watch the waves. Their constancy is reassuring in a world where it sometimes feels like the only constant is change.

Oh you make this sound so inviting! Although we never go below minus in the winter I think I would looove this kind of super crisp day.. Watching the back and forth of the waves is incredibly soothing. Happy weekend Marie ✨

When you are dressed for the weather, it never seems *too* cold, does it? Beautiful shots, Marie.
