Out for a stroll

Rounding a bend in the road I was greeted by the somewhat whimsical sight of these Canada geese out for a walk on the iced-over river.

Bufflehead are a winter resident on the St. Clair River. Sometimes they allow themselves to be photographed.

Steerageway

The St. Clair River is jammed with ice in some stretches. The upbound CSL Frontenac had bare steerageway as its bridge crew picked their way through the jumbled ice.

Incongruous

Even after seven years’ living near the St. Clair River, it is still a little odd to watch large freighters juxtaposed with houses.

Peeking

During my visit to the foggy St. Clair River the fog didn’t lift for a moment, it dropped. Treetops and antennas peeked out yet all at ground level remained shrouded.
