This little guy was sitting closer to the door of the house... Mary thought it was a bear, but I don't see ears, and the bop on the top makes me think otherwise.... There was also a deer, but he'd been tampered with, so I'll have to see about taking a picture from a different angle.
And this is why we hang around Findley Lake in the winter...some people are only summer people or weekend people, but we live here all the time... because when we are not buried under 6 or 8 feet of snow, it is really beautiful.
Don't you wish you were here??
And then it was off to work. You know if you live here, chances are you'll have to do some work. As I was driving, I came across this patch in the road that looked like someone smashed some bottles ...shoot, and I ran right over it before I saw it. But, then I realized that these patches were located underneath the trees that had been wearing the beautiful ice dresses for the past several days. Now, the temperature and the air is changing enough that they are dropping the dresses straight down. After I knew what it was, I saw many more on my trip. It was a pretty coating while it lasted. Those trees would just sparkle when the sun hit them, almost blinding you. And I guess for the most part, we didn't have a lot of wind, so there was not an abundance of broken branches, just these piles of ice glass on the road now, glittering in the sunlight.

Great snow giraffe!!! Somebody was very creative.
I love the lake in the winter as well as the summer. I can walk on water in the winter.
