Deep Lake at Millersylvania State Park, Olympia

I found a little bit of winter at Deep Lake at Millersylvania State Park in Olympia. And while I’d like to write that I took a long healthy walk on the trails, the truth is that I stood admiring the lake for about 10 minutes and then gave in to the cold and trotted back to the heated car. I haven’t seen a lake completely frozen over in decades and it brought back memories of ice skating in New Jersey during my high school years.

The image below is on a shady rural street. I thought the ice configuration was interesting.

Why yes, we would like a walk!

I didn’t get off our property today. The back alley was (and still is) too icy and it was just too darned cold! I hadn’t used my backyard as a new place of today, so here it is. The photo is of my two cairn terriers that were very hopeful about a walk.
