Icy Outlet

Temperatures will not get above freezing today.   Icicles are forming at the lake outlet.  Temperatures don't look to be above freezing for several days.  For those of us in denial, (like me) winter is at the door, and she is not going away anytime soon!

Stay warm and enjoy!

Teaming

Temperatures earlier this week caused a layer of ice to cover the lake.   The lake outlet was flowing and busy with darting water bugs.  Most were crowded along the wall.  November is full of wonderful paradoxes. (Photo taken Thursday, November 14th, 2013.)

Spring Challenges

This hardy little guy crossed the lake outlet at least twice this evening.  Aside from the swift current, there are still large chunks of ice to navigate.  Spring holds some challenge for a muskrat.

Enjoy!

Evidence of a Return

Tell-tale tracks of a large heron or egret were found near the lake outlet.  And other evidence on the far bridge.

Enjoy!

Down Stream

The high water level has broken up the ice downstream into large chunks.

Enjoy!

Icy Outlet

The lake has been iced over for awhile.  Yet, water still flows at the outlet.  Click on photo to enlarge.
