New Snowfall



We woke this morning to a new blanket of beautiful snow.

Ken and I walked to Lions Park to investigate the changes in the river. It was so peaceful.

Along our journey a pair of doves greeted us from high above in an evergreen tree.

Ken was busy taking over one hundred images.

Standing there watching and hearing the river flowing again made me realize just how much I had missed it this winter.

It was 14 degrees when we went to bed last night and this afternoon it was in the forties.

Could spring really be just around the corner?

Breaking Ice

Ken and I rushed out to enjoy the sunshine before the wind became too strong to enjoy it. We decided to go to Ennis Lake to see if it was beginning to melt.

Temperatures have been in the teens to twenties in the mornings and between the mid thirties and high forties in the afternoons. It has been an unusually mild February.

When we arrived at the lake we discovered several ice fishermen. Near the bridge the lake is peeking through the ice and slowly creeping toward the area where the men are ice fishing.

As we rounded the lake and headed back toward town we saw amazing ice formations. Ken spent quite some time walking and shooting. Here is a shot of him and one of my favorite discoveries.

I can’t wait to see what kind of images he captured today.

Soaring At Ten Feet Elevation

Ken just emailed me this photo he got the same day of my last post. Here is what he had to say about the image:

"Soaring at ten feet elevation I was transformed between worlds. Is it this planet, another planet or another universe? With the feeling I have it really does not matter."




Like I said before, the ever changing river in winter is an amazing sight to behold when the river gorges.
