note the foam under the ice, a precious detail:
what do you think its script says?
bubbles.... frozen in ice

It has been a beautiful Autumn.
The colorful part lasted weeks, yay!
We had lots of sunshine to inspire adventures in the mountains and forests.
Snow has come and gone many times.
Though the snow is magical and beautiful,
it is nice when autumn returns, as winter is a long season here in NW Montana.
into the snow clad forest of the mountains.
Autumn's wanders revealed one of last summers
hummingbird nest.
Seems one of my little birds friends
was as curious about it as I was.
as we lean towards winter.

Thrilled to visit with the lovely Calypso orchids
more commonly called Fairy Slippers
Native stonecrop succulents that slept beneath winter's snow
have sprung to life in perfection
along with joyous moss
make two wishes
one for you
and one for our lovely world

Autumn gold
held
beneath
winters frozen breath of ice
twas a beautiful day at the lake
when the sun comes out to show off the beauty of our world
I try to be out under its lovely light
for our winters tend to be cloudy
The lake shore was frozen for quite a ways into the lake
yet there were windows in the ice revealing treasures below
the artful expression of nature
appears to be endless and whimsical at times
some winters
and this lake does not freeze at all
there were people walking on this ice.....
so fun to see ice forming in a myriad of shapes and different transparencies
I hope you have enjoyed the glimpses of Lake McDonald
in winter wonderland
