Pastel Light

The pastel lighting of days' end before the sun actually sets is a beautiful and unforgettable sight, seldom enjoyed by me in these cold temps.

At the time this photo was taken, the very end of November, our lake and cove was still fluid, with only one day of an isolated ice crust appearing up to that point.

Starry Ground

This gorgeously spiky looking haircap moss is a treat to look at in the bleakness of winter - it contrasts perfectly with the varying coloration of individual Wintergreen plants.

Thanksgiving Sprinkles

Thanksgiving delivered our first little snowfall this year, with very little accumulation, just a pretty dusting. I really, really like the accumulation of snow along the sloping trunk across our cove.

The small patch of ice in the water to the left of the pic is the first trace of ice we've seen this year too. It was soon gone. It's past time to take out the dock, though - the water is going to be cold, even with waders! Wish us luck ...
