Winter Outing

the winds blew

 creating waves on the lake

surface ice shattered into snow clad islands

in a similar way

artful ice formations came to life

it was a beautiful day at Lake McDonald

I was missing our colorful rocks

so beautiful when under ice and water

this day we were under storm warning

for clouds, snow and big winds

instead we were given a blue sky day

a perfect way to share my birthday with friends
