On the move

It’s been three weeks since the ice moved out and the lake opened up.  I haven’t had a chance to share all the cool images captured before it left. 
This particular day, Joanna was playing around with my camera when we were startled by a sudden, strange noise.  A large piece of submerged ice broke loose and surfaced like a lazy whale.  As soon as our heart beats returned to normal, I reminded Jo she had the camera.

Normally, when out with my camera, I have one companion along – 
Lindor, our chocolate lab.
This particular night when the ice was on its way out…
directly behind me, waiting for another ball toss…
Jersey and Lindor.

Sky times 2

One of the best things about ice out is we are treated to twice the amount of sky!

Later this particular evening, the calm waters reflected an incredible array of twinkling stars.  I love living at the water’s edge!

Seems like yesterday…

Fondly remembering the birth of our first born, a precious daughter 29 years ago today!
Love ya sweetie!

A matter of Death and Life

The Lord Jesus Christ, the incarnate Son of God, bore the sin of all mankind for all time when nailed to a Roman cross. Raised to life, He conquered death (separation from God) and made it possible for man to be reconciled to (have a personal relationship with) God the Father through faith in Him.
Blessed Easter!

Here today; gone tomorrow

I’m not sure why this ridge was formed in the ice. Perhaps the receding water levels below the frozen surface caused the sheet to buckle. There’s no room for the ice to shift as it hasn’t started to pull away from the shore yet.

The next day, it had collapsed.

Watch for more unusual ice images…
