We got an inch or so of snow overnight which helped create this unique light. It was extremely still and the water was very calm except for the ripples caused by the birds.

In this cold weather, a fun thing to do for kids and adults is to bring some trees indoors. Take cuttings of small branches, put them in a warm place in some water, and watch what happens. Some trees will do nothing, but many, especially the early-flowering trees, are eager to show their stuff.
