Grey

There is a skiff of grey ice on the bay this morning, and the most beautifully subtle light, accompanied by a light snow fall. It is unlikely that the ice will stay, unless we get a string of windless days, despite it being past normal freeze up time.

Narwhal were there somewhere. A small pod was apparently in the bay, close to town earlier, but despite this I couldn't find them. The sharp exhale/inhale of breath far off was the only clue to their presence. Once and it was gone. They are there somewhere, but they won't be for long, they'll follow the edge of the ice and leave us soon.

Too soon.
