I felt super energized today for some very strange reason. My energy level is usually pretty constant, well actually usually bordering on low. My day began early with a short walk down to the dock to watch the sunrise. I think now that the clocks have moved forward an hour I will get back to this morning routine. It’s beyond peaceful with the birds singing and the odd small flock of geese flying overhead. Once the water is thawed and is open again it is such a beautiful sight to watch the geese coming in to land against the sunrise.
As I was standing on the dock near one of the barges, I was looking into the water noticing how much the ice was reduced from last night, when my eye was drawn to the movement in the water. It was a school of minnows. There appeared to be thousands of them all moving together in synchrony.
Back to the house and I was off for an early appointment at a local garage to have my winter tires removed…YAY…this must mean that Spring has to be just around the corner (I know we’re not out of the woods yet, but we are on our way!). I completed a few messages while I was in town and returned home once again.
Now time for my walk! It ended up being about four miles round trip…cold but sunny. I saw quite a few small ice floe formations that had left various states of disaster in their wake. This first photograph has left someone with a large repair bill, I have no doubt. It is quite surreal watching the ice move and destroy structures as if they were made from matchsticks…oh my!
