Cold, icy day with blue skies and clouds. A thin layer of ice coated all the twigs and leaves everywhere, making the world look like it was dipped in melted sugar, or blown from glass. I heard a lot of birds I'm not familiar with today! Excited to know that there's still a lot to learn.Feb 11, 2025
Another cold day. I went up to the lake between my classes today. The whole surface was an icy landscape that stretched all the way out to the horizon. Big piles of shattered blue-grey ice were on the shore, frozen back into place after the water re-froze. The rocks have huge icicles creating mini cliffs on their sides, and the ducks crowded in whatever areas of water were left unfrozen. It was really quiet, and the sky was a strange white-grey that made the sunlight look like bright indoor lighting. Walked through a couple herds of deer on my way back.
