A beautiful blue sky and sun day at the cottage today. I wanted to skate on both Stewart Lake and Butterfly Lake as there was next to no snow on the lakes, just ice...the best time to skate. But I wasn't sure if it would be thick enough everywhere so I played it safe (as I was alone.) Here are some pics from this incredible day:
And the ice on both lakes was moaning too! making incredible sounds as it was freezing and melting at the same time. Like an alien moose call. or something.
Stewart lake had some dusting of snow in my bay, but the rest, pure ice!
Well, I guess 12 hours later it was all snowy. Good thing I didn't stay overnight or I'd have had a tough time getting home. But I guess the dream skate will have to wait another year.
maybe new years?
Ya..might be good then. I know Rene made one at new years last year... though I hear there may be more rain this week...ugh!
