It is a rare day any time without wind on Prince Edward Island. One day recently, it meant quiet along the boardwalk when sounds of the blue jays and chickadees filled the air and the senses, without competition from the wind. The calm in the bay meant the water which was at high tide, reflected the sky, the usual grey of winter but with a hint of fog. The horizon disappeared as a consequence.
Meanwhile, these two went about their business as usual.
As we continued along the boardwalk, a faint line of horizon appeared to glow in the distance.
However behind this juniper tree, the horizon was all but gone again.
At the turn-about, the glow of the horizon was evident again.
On the way back, a closeup of the area in photo 3 shows the reflection on the still water without a hint of horizon.
Leave it to the ducks to make a few waves in an otherwise calm day.
Another beautiful day along the boardwalk!

It really is remarkably still. The peace and serenity comes through your photos.
oh looks great!I see you have the same kind of weather as we have over here.Very slushy snow!The juniper tree is sooo big!!We have only little ones here.I think you had a great day beeing out and look around!thanx for sharing!
Have a beautiful day!
Pretty grey day!
Gorgeous! Without a horizon, the whole scene feels surreal. Love it, Marie! :-)
What are the sounds on s day like this? Ducks maybe, waves lapping? It's so calming.
That is so lovely and calming.
Oh glorious! Love, love the water shots. And your ducks never disappoint. We have white sticky snow on everything this morning. Quite the picture. I may have to see if it will photograph, ducking the blobs that I know will find my neck and fingers if I try. the chickadees are really funny, looking for someplace to land that is not snowcovered so as to break open a sunflower seed.
making gray, gorgeous!! i enjoyed searching for the horizon. our skies here have been so gray, it has been so long since we have seen the sun. even in winter, we see it a little more frequently than this year!!
the reflection is superb!!

Cheers

I have been getting error messages lately on some blogs too. I haven’t changed any settings on my blog to warrant that error. I

It has that bleak and beautiful air.
Spectacular photos. The disappearing horizon is eerie and mysterious.
GORGEOUS photos. Many, many thanks.
Absolutely lovely photos. The stillness in second to last photo is especially beautiful.
Somehow, you captured quiet in these photos.
Spectacular beauty in the fog and frosty views.
I especially like that first one and the one of the windblown tree.
They are definite wall hangers.

Love the way the horizon teased you - you have captured it well with the photos :)
I've never been to the beach when you can't see the horizon. It seems a little eerie. I love the picture of the rocks reflecting in the water! And the ducks are so cute. :-)
Such peaceful photos despite it looks chilly! Keep well Diane
So beautiful and very serene photos.
About the anchor door, yes the pier is right across the road from the door.
So peaceful, lovely and charming!
Excellent job of documenting the winter scene at the boardwalk. Peaceful is the key word.
always windy on P.E.I.? Try the prairies. Flat open country and the wind doesn't have anything to slow it down.
Looking at these shots, I was imagining them as jigsaw puzzles...and how much of a challenge that would be.
Look like the ducks enjoying a swim.
Coffee is on and stay safe
Fog + camera = Excellent Photos
It does appear to be rather gray. That is how Misty (cat) got her name. She is gray, which when naming her I thought of the gray of a river and how it usually looks not only gray but Misty.....She became Misty River. Love the pics and being about to see places around the world with my blogging friends.
Your description is poetic, and so are the picture - reminding poetry.
Gorgeous photos, Marie. The disappearing horizon can leave one straining to see it in the distance. Fog has a magic all its own.

Kudos to you and Rick for getting out and enjoying it, Marie. There is so much to see, so much to appreciate.
A well-deserved calm day.
How wonderful that you have this amazing boardwalk so close. I am thrilled that this year, I fully understand the beauty that you enjoy and share.
So much beauty in this grey winter landscape but I am sure you long for sunny days.
Hello Marie,
You do have beautiful views from your walks on the boardwalk. Love the closeups and photos of the ducks. Take care, have a happy weekend.
Stillness has loud voice indeed in these beautiful images dear Marie :)
I am glad you found a windless day out to explore natural beauty present during winter season.
Seems like it can take sun a while to show up.
Your heading photo is exceptional!!!!!!
Hugs and blessings
Marie,
I love the way you tell a story from your beautiful photos. So poetic and interesting.
WWow.. incredible.
