Ice and Cold Autumn

It's cold. Winter is coming, the weather people are predicting snow for Friday. Our wreaths and balsam kissing balls are coming in tomorrow, Christmas trees (whimper) arriving this weekend, and we still have a dozen properties with leaves all over their yards.

Spent today (and am spending tomorrow) at a property on Sebago Lake, raked the lawn, and fed the Billy Goat all the piles (great fun, really, watching a HUGE pile of leaves get sucked up into a shredder... muahaha), and am now the proud owner of several new calluses and blisters. Owie.

BUT! There was some excellent opportunity for photography... water had frozen most interestingly in some depressions down by the lake, and the light was lovely to catch the oak trees that have finally changed across the lake. Amazing that they still have leaves on them, really, what with the wind and rain of the last couple weeks.

I rather like these three (for nightpaws, especially):
Sebago Lake, Oaks & Beech
Oaks and Pines
Reflections

There are some more really cool frozen puddle shots under the photo link... check 'em out. :)

Thank you! I'm glad you like it. :) I love the little bubbles, and the ridges in the ice itself where it froze at different times/levels.
