First Day of Spring


Yesterday was the first day of Spring, and Spring means thaw, and thaw means lots and lots and lots of water.  This is a shot of the old power dam in Cannon Falls on Lake Byllesby.  It usually looks tame and dead, but not right now!

The wind really whips across the lake this time of year, so the water spray was blowing onto nearby trees and fences, coating them with ice.  The trees tinkled when the wind blew them and little icicles would fall on my head.
















After I finished with the dam, I took pictures of the broken ice along the shore of the lake. 







































The last two images are exact opposites of each other.  One is beautiful and the other is disgusting.  Pick up after yourselves, people!
