Island and Lake

Apart from the angle, this is close to what it looked like when we arrived at the central lake on the upland plateau. We passed a squirrel or two on the way (no photo) and numerous small bodies of water in various states of frozenness. Almost all of these smaller meres had a resident Beaver dam in their centre, a pile of logs and sticks built up out of the water, one per mere. Methinks Beavers aren't friendly neighbors.

The Island seen here is one of a couple in the centre of the large lake. There are camp grounds and a golf course further around and out of sight. Although the thermometer wasn't too cold, the wind made it as cold as it looks to take this shot. There were small fish shoaling around the edge of the ice.
