Frozen West Park lake and island
The smaller eastern section of the lake in West Park is always the first part to freeze over. This picture was taken ten days ago, when the ice was so thin that even the water birds seemed to be avoiding standing on it.
The canada geese in West Park were not happy that the ground had frozen. A large section of the flock had come up near the bandstand to prospect the soil for something to eat.
