There was ice this morning. It was also very cold. I was a bit surprised at how little ice there was. Running water will stay unfrozen -- but at 16 degrees (or less -- I am going by what the car was showing) I would have thought there would have been more ice, especially in the very shallow areas. You could certainly tell where the swifter current travels through the lake.
As I approached the lake a couple small birds shot out of the short grass near the edge of the water. All I could think of was how cold they must be. I was cold and I had on quite a bit of clothing. When I first went out of the house this morning -- I came back to add a layer under my jeans. Those wonderful golf gloves -- well -- the only part of me that was really suffering was my fingers on my right hand. At that point I wished I had the pocket hand warmer with me!
The photo on the blog today shows the ice in an area from one of the photos yesterday. I like the sticks protruding out of the water. They make good reflections and give a point of reference in a large area of water.
So now tomorrow morning -- I can stay in and keep warm!

i guess it takes a bit of suffering to achieve a shot like that.
