Out checking the properties I manage on Kezar Lake - my Saturday routine. No snow yet but lots of rain, then strong wind blew in some Arctic air. Water levels came way up on the Saco River and raised Kezar Lake's as well. It froze, then receded, leaving interesting formations of ice suspended above the water's surface.
The sun was bright, so water and sky were very blue. I wasn't in a hurry, and I took time to look.
Where a strong northwest wind blew hard on an eastern shore, ice formations got more jumbled.
Nothing was amiss at the properties, so I could enjoy my perambulations and notice the beauty that's always around.
Afterward, I went down to the Saco River to see if the rain had exposed any artifacts where Indians hung out for four thousand years or so. Only found a few chips from tool-making activity, but the water level had dropped even more along the Old Course of the Saco. Sun and cold acted nicely together on the ice there. Reminded me of those tasseled hats Mexican dancers wear.
In one place it tipped somewhow.
