Ides of March - March 15th, 2015

A welcome sign of Spring... it's street hockey season! >>>"CAR!!"<<<

The ice is rotten... warm sunny days have rendered numerous soft spots and a surface layer of slush. Farther out, even the lake ice is breaking up.

It had been a long, lean winter... now awake and *very* hungry, he found it difficult to wait for dusk before slithering out to hunt...

This pair of youths had wandered out onto the lake ice... and now were debating the best way to get back to shore. Note that I'm shooting at the full extent of a 400 mm lens... they were waaaaayyyyy out there ... and also note the blue slushy rotten ice field around them.

The US Coast Guard Cutter Bristol Bay was headed down river at a good clip...

Down the end of the pier, the green jacket of the jogger drew my eye...

She was sitting, way out at the end of the harbour breakwall, all alone... gazing out across the empty lake.
