I really wanted to make the effort to get out for a bit of a walk this afternoon and get some fresh air. So I bundled up; snow pants and all and set off. I decided I’d walk about half a mile to another public dock to access the lake and then walk back on the lake, so that’s exactly what I did.
There are two old wheels that are propped up against a fence. This is the better looking of the two and I often wonder what their story is. I think I know someone I can ask which is what I’ll do next time I see him.
I continued on to the dock and stepped down onto the ice. I’m still a bit nervous but there were a few people around that I figured would come to my aide if something untoward was to happen. There were a lot of fish huts installed for the day and more further up along the horizon nearer Georgina Island where the water is much deeper.
When we first moved here to the lake it took me a while to figure out why there were little trees ‘growing’ up through the ice…now I know!
I’ve often wanted to take a photograph of this old boat lift from the water as I see it when I’m passing along on the road above. For some reason it just fascinates me. I also love the weather vane on the top of one of the pipes. I think I have another question for the chap that might know something about the wheel.
