Mr. Sun plays peek-a-boo these days. He shows up for just a few minutes or seconds, then slips away again. A week ago he lingered awhile. Bundled up with wind-proof warm coats, scarves and mittens, we took a bracing walk along the water.
Harsh crow caws contrast with wind-ruffled waves lapping against the rocks. Pink-tinged mainland mountains glow softly in the distance.
White against blue, a sailboat motors past.
With cheeks and nosy red from the chill wind, we turn back, anticipating wrapping our hands around mugs of steaming tea. Mr. Sun, please come back. We miss you.

I always enjoy seeing your views of the mountains, Lorrie. The scenery is beautiful; it would be well worth getting bundled up in one's warm woolies to take a walk by the water and drink in the vista on a sunny day.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing gorgeous photos from your end of the country at Sunlit Sunday.

Such beautiful captures, Lorrie! I'm feeling a little sunshine deprived...
ReplyDeleteHello from the Island on the other side of the country :) There are no boats in our waters unless they're the iceboat variety! We're locked in til spring. Love the rosy mountains in the distance.
ReplyDeleteBoy, looks like a different world out there!
ReplyDeleteI miss Mr Sun too! Wasn't the view of Mt Baker wonderful last Sunday? We were out on the Esquimalt spit, walking in wonder.
ReplyDeleteThat blue water is so lovely!
ReplyDeleteThe first photo is my favorite - the mountain - the crows - the water. It is perfect. I love some sun on a blustery winter day.
ReplyDeleteThe snow capped mountains in the background are gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteWe are expecting weather in the 80s this week so some kayaking is definitely in the picture this week.
Stunning! It's worth waiting for isn't it?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful view of the mountains across the water!
ReplyDeleteCould have written the same for here. I love walking along the waterside and your photos so good I almost did.
ReplyDeleteI have been thinking of making a summer post during these wintertimes too, I like your images a lot. They remind me of the simplicity of summer.
ReplyDeleteAh, those mountains in the background... beautiful!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with "stretching" out of your comfort zone, Lorrie!
If he shows up will you tell him I need to see him too?
ReplyDeleteGorgeous images, both written and photographed.

Wouldn't it be nice?! Perhaps the next walk you take will be in the sun!
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty header!
Delete"Mr. Sun" paid us a visit today and there are some rumors he'll be back a lot this week:) LOVED the photos!
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Aimee
Gorgeous shots! I especially like the first one.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos. I'm waiting for 'him' to come out more too.
ReplyDeleteMount Baker on a clear day is so impressive. Sunshine always lifts my spirits no matter what the temperature. the pillow on your header is lovely. Have a good week Lorrie!
