Winter comes to Niven Lake Trail


Transitional landscapes
 

     So this past week saw our first real snow in the neighborhood, a few inches that seems to be sticking around. Roads had to be cleared and gravel laid for safe travel. Temps have dropped and smaller bodies of water are starting to freeze over. We can see this most clearly on the Niven Lake Trail where we typically spend at least part of every day with Lacey. A sense of the changing seasons....

New ice cover

Ducks seeking open water
Icy shores








Frosty breezes


Snow covers sepia grasses

Birches in midday winter sun

Frosted Forest



Hints of more ice to come
