3-23-14 Red Rock

Wandered down to Red Rocks and even though it is frozen over the lake is starting to thaw.  You can see the water starting to show at the shore.
Still pretty slippery out there.

3-15-14 Mount Philo

I seriously go here too much.  The panorama was a bit bleached out for some reason.
More moody clouds...



3-12-14 Winter Storm

A proper blizzard hit Burlington and I got out  on the bike path to ski in it.  It was beautiful but the wind was driving.  When I was going into it I was almost blinded.  Because it is Burlington I wasn't the only one out on skis, there was couple out wandering as well.

3-9-14 Shelburne Bay

Lake Champlain's frozen state provides a new variety of recreational opportunities.  This is normally a spot I run but I was able to return on the bay instead.
It was a beautiful day, people were out on the ice with cars ice fishing.
There was a Bald Eagle chilling in the trees here, I couldn't get a good shot of it.
The river under the bridge was completely frozen over. Sal was intrigued.
Sal claimed the lake as his own.

2-16-14 CAT Trail

Honestly, I think this was the CAT trail but I am not entirely sure.  
I managed to walk out on Lake Champlain to catch the sunset. 

2-15-14 Snake Mountain

I decided it was time to get my snowshoes out and have some fun.  So I headed to Snake Mountain.
The view from the top was a bit obscured.
A panorama, a bit washed out.
You can barely make out NY here.
Yay my snowshoes in their native environment.

2-8-14 Lake Champlain

For the first time in many years Lake Champlain was fully frozen over.  Most of the Burlington residents wandered out to enjoy it.
Beyond the breakers the ice turned from white to clear.
Looking over the breakers back at Burlington.
The ice was surreally clear, you could look down into the water.  It was very unnerving.  When people threw ice chunks across it, it made a singing sound.
The breaker itself was covered in very slippery.
