On Sunday I had a great hike with my sweetie “Cat” and a very old buddy, Steve. It’s been below freezing for a while with no snow so I figured the lake would be frozen and smooth. It was and we had a great day playing on the ice. It was perfectly smooth and clear so we could see the bottom down to around 5 feet or so. Being that Steve and I turn into 8 year olds, she decided to head home and allow us “boys” to play on our own for a while. (She also wanted to go shopping and it was really COLD out there….LOL) We had a blast sliding around and even spotted a muskrat swimming under the ice!

Anyway, to get this shot I had to worm my way under the low hanging branches. Being that the ice was so smooth with a slight sheen of water I couldn’t get any traction and had nothing to grip to pull my self under. I can still hear Steve howling with laughter as I wriggled my way under there an inch at a time!

Thanks to Patrick Tiffany for helping me choose which shot to post for this day, I just couldn’t decide! The rest of them are at My Winter Gallery at the end, after the hay bales shot…

Now to post yesterdays…falling behind….
