When the Sun Shines


Lake McDonald is large
(over 10 miles long & 1 mile wide)

this year it's surface is near frozen
(rarely happens)


being frozen
made for easy walking on it's surface

of course I stayed near the shore


morning surprise
an ice crystal world
 
 
this time they were kissed with sunlight
 
 
such a pretty winter day

  3. Stunning photos! I am surprised to learn that the lake doesn't freeze. Your winters seem so fierce out there. The lakes here in Maine freeze every year, ice out dates usually in early May.

  5. Exquisite... It's been mainly cloudy here lately and next week we will exit freezing temperatures and into the 40 degree barrier. Spring may come early this year after an especially cold winter.

  17. Those ice crystals look unbelievable, Tammie. Once I saw little plastic decorative leaves and they looked somewhat like the tree-shaped crystals, only they were plastic and lifeless while these are natural and alive. Great captures!
