Winter Wonderland

The area we now live in is subject to 'Arctic Outpours'. When this happens it's as if the North Pole has come to Sayward! A couple of weeks ago we had an Arcitc outpour and the local stream froze over - it was amazing, so much so we took some photo's.



Hopefully you can just about make out where the water is still flowing (the steely grey bit between rocks & tree) and the frozen parts either side of the water fall and the big white patch at the front of the photo.

Whilst Tony was taking the photo, Chi went running out onto the ice right infront of him and I kid you not posed for the camera - thank goodness the ice was thick enough to take his weight although I do beleive he would have instinctively known if it wasn't ok as he didn't follow our friends Vizlas onto the thin ice on their trail pond.



We are so lucky to live in such a beautiful place.
