A Most Interesting Day ...

Hello Everyone!

Today we walked around the island and enjoyed a clear cold day.  We are finding it interesting that the North winds have been blowing and blowing at the other side of the island - creating interesting snow drifts and ice formations along the shore. Yet, we are not experiencing any winds at our cabin site - bummer - since we need wind for our battery bank.  Oh well.

One of the eagles taking flight from the tall Cotton Wood tree at the cabin -  must have seen a rabbit going for water.

When sunrise took place today, we were surprised to see the sun rays glistening off  a sheen of ice stretching from our cabin to the mainland!!  

The mystery tracks again -  as suggested by one of our blog readers - the tracks could be those of a fox. These tracks are meandering along the shore on the snow covered ice.  Swan Cove is to the right.

Sheets of ice along the South shore heading west - the winds have been blowing through this area for the past few days -but we've not had any winds at the cabin.

Open waters still remain on the lake - this photo faces towards the upper Kenai.  We are standing about 200 yards from the tree line on rocks.  

An interesting block of ice along the beach.  

Lake ice between Frying Pan and Round Island - but  not yet across to the mainland on the North shore.  Both the Upper Landing and Lower Landing appear to be ice free.

This evenings sunset from our cabin.

Take Care!
