No More Ice Ice Baby!

Awww... poor bear. This is what I look like when trying to walk on ice.

Happily, the ice on the lake is completely melted! I think the "official ice out day" was Sunday, April 2. We literally watched it disappear that day.

There are already docks and boat lifts in the water -- and today a few boats were out and about on the lake.

Summer is coming!

In the morning, the ice is starting to recede

Moving along quickly as the day progresses

Moving out to center of lake

Moving, moving...

The ice is gone! Gorgeous day outside!

Looking to the southwest from our patio

Looking towards the northeast

The water was so still in the afternoon.
I took this photo of a Loon and his mirror image is below him in the water.

Thanks for visiting!!

  3. What a lovely spot you have! How wonderful when the ice recedes! I am so ready for warm weather and it keeps dumping snow on us or staying gray and ugly. Soon though - I am going to think positively!

  4. The loon doesn't have his summer colors yet, so I didn't RECOGNIZE him!
