Ice Follies is back on Lake Nipissing. Two years ago I wrote THIS . Smaller this year but enjoyable none-the-less.
I spent an enjoyable time on the ice today making photos of the constructions.
Looks like a building from a distance.
Isn’t.

Ice Shack
It’s winter and we fish just about anywhere there’s ice.
Except in the arena or the curling club of course.

Sunset on Ice
The sun sets over Trout Lake on a daily basis.
Tonight was more subtle than most.
But really nice.

They’re Baaack!
Snowmobiles are once again leaving tracks on Four Mile Bay. The ice is safe enough here for the machines to run around.
The snow acts as an insulator and makes ice growth slower even though the temperature was -27C this morning.
I don’t intend to go walking anywhere on the lake for at least another two weeks. Give it time to thicken up. Like, a foot and a half of ice would make me feel pretty confident.

Not Sunny Today
But it was three days ago.
Bleached grasses on the shore of frozen One Mile Bay.

White Christmas?
One Mile Bay is frozen over…
…but it doesn’t look like we’ll have a White Christmas.
Oh well, it’s cold outside.

Ice Free
One Mile Bay is ice free!
But there is still ice hanging around in the main lake.
Perhaps tomorrow it will be gone.

Ice Out
The ice is going out of our lake after a long winter. Last night the effects of warmer temperatures and sunshine along with some rain became evident as the frozen solid skin on the lake broke down.
A light wind moved pans of ice by our place and the tinkling buzz of the pans rubbing gently against each other was gentle music.
The last gasp of winter produces beautiful long crystals of ice that are unique.
Beautiful stuff goes on all the time in the real world. If you blink you miss it…

Spring Lies
This was the situation the other day at the end of One Mile Bay.
What I would like to be open water near the shore is still refrozen from last night and it’s nearly noon!
Also there is snow in tomorrow’s forecast.
Nothing to do but wait, I guess…

The Ice is Retreating
The sun’s subtle strength is working on the ice along our shore…
Facing South doesn’t hurt either.

Waiting for The Chief
Our local cruise boat, The Chief Commanda spends the summer rubbing up against the tires when not navigating the lake carrying tourists and other sightseers.
She won’t launch from her winter berth in Callander for another month, well after the ice is gone. Her appearance will signal the start of the summer season.

…On The Dock of The Bay…
Not quite as relaxing as the song. But pretty nice anyway…

Not Quite Spring
The remnants of winter are evident above and below this power dam. This small dam near Powassan has been in place for many years and supplies electricity to the grid.
Every little bit of power helps, I suppose.
