Rangy

It was a gorgeous afternoon yesterday.  Very warm, which meant that lots of people were out on Lake Minnetonka; but not in boats.  Every bay had clusters of people fishing, snowmobiling, and walking their dogs.

Foolishly

Sunday it was around 44°F.  On our way back from Ellsworth, WI, we stopped briefly at Point Douglas Park on the Hastings, MN/Prescott, WI border.

What you're seeing is the St. Croix River just before it merges with the Mississippi River. The park (where I'm sitting at a picnic table and using a zoom lens) is a peninsula that squeezes the St. Croix through a narrow channel into the Mississippi.

This guy was ice fishing on the St. Croix,  right where the "squeezing" begins.  I'm guessing that's why the ice wasn't covered in snow like further back.  There were small patches of open water not far from him and a huge stretch of open water, out of frame, where some sane people were fishing from a boat.

Here's a wider angle shot.  The guy is the tiny black dot, smack-dab in the middle.
