Frozen Kent Lake

Today I want to show you pictures of my liberation. What? They only look like a desolate wasteland? Well, they're actually pictures of frozen Kent Lake in Kensington Metropark. The park is huge and so is the lake. I went there as soon as I had some extra time back because it's the biggest nature place I know that is somewhat close to me.

Honestly, I didn't do much except drive around there, but it was enough. I stopped several times to get out and take some pictures, like these of the lake. I could have gone through the nature trails they have there, but I really didn't have that much time or inclination that day. I just wanted to see it all.

I think the drive was enough for me that day. It was refreshing just to get out and see it all. This lake may look lonely and desolate, but I liked being alone out there. When the warmer weather comes back, this place will become absolutely full of people, on land and on the water.

Look into the distance on the right side of the picture. That is where the beach is. The structure there is a really huge water slide. From the water that place looks like a sea of people in the summer.

As I look at these pictures, I wonder if some of those white spots are air pockets in the ice or just places where snow collected. I would know if I could remember looking closely at them when I was there. I was too busy just enjoying the whole scene.

I think that's it from me for today. This post seemed short to me, but what am I really going to write about ice as far as the eye can see? It's just fun to look at. I guess that's all there is to say.
