Mer Bleu Bog

We decided to check out Mer Bleu early this morning in order to catch the sunrise. Finding it hard to get out of bed while it is still dark though. It went down to about -7C here last night, so everything was covered by a nice frost this morning. On the way in to Mer Bleu we spotted two moose off in the middle of a field about 200 meters from the road. Unfortunately, they were too far away to get any nice pictures. People have told us in the past that there were some moose in the bog area but this is the first time we have ever seen them ourselves. They stood dead still while checking us out except for the occasional twitch of an ear. They were long gone when we left the bog an hour later.
Here are a couple of pictures I took this morning. Lots of frost on the trees in the first shot with the sun peeking through the trees. The second shot is a backlit leaf rimmed with frost. Hope you like the photographs.
