Description
The morning dawned at minus 18 Celsius but the sun was brilliant. I decided to trudge through the deep snow and look over the colours of Jim Day Rapids. A pair of black ducks were in the open water and I was concerned that I would scare them off. To my surprise, they kept dabbling in the current although they kept an eye or two on me. I heard the chatter of the belted kingfisher that had come back too early a couple of days before. Chickadees buzzed me since I was wearing the same wardrobe as the Bird Man Feeding Station. The nuthatches also chirped their electronic song.
I started to paint at 10:45 am when the temperature had reached minus 10 Celsius. The sun made it feel much warmer. Some cumulus actually developed as I painted which surprised me greatly. The colour of the open water of Jim Day Rapids was really dark. There will be no swimming for a few months yet. The long title was picked so there would be no duplicate names in my portfolio. The word "mid" also applies to mid month and mid morning.
