Sky over Sucker Lake

On the day after Thanksgiving the sun rose over frigid air and a quiet lake. Sucker Lake is reserved for our water supply so you will never see boats gliding along--only geese, ducks, swans as well as all manner of egrets, herons and cormorants on the long sandy spits near shore. I chose this photo because it shows the lovely swirling patterns as the lake becomes solid ice.

  1. Lovely scene! Beautiful soft colours! Somehow, the lake almost seems a part of the sky. As if the sky is freezing over in cloudy swirls! Great photo!

  5. So pretty! I think the sunrises and sunsets are extra special at this time of year, because our days are so short. Happy Friday!

To live in the presence of great truths and eternal laws, to be led by permanent ideals--that is what keeps a man patient when the world ignores him, and calm & unspoiled when the world praises him.
