Our First walks of 2021... Utah lake. Walking in a winter wonderland.

 

I love this photo with the sun setting behind the tree,
the lake is in the distance and there are people out 
ice skating.

I guess we have never gone to the lake in January.
We have never seen it frozen to the point you could
ice skate on it.

Sorry for so many repeat photos, but I just find the colors so 
beautiful. 


A different tree.  They had a piano out on the lake.
I think someone was making a video.


Sometime you can catch that moment and it looks
beautiful, and other times the camera can't catch 
what your eye is seeing.  I guess I felt lucky the camera 
could catch the beauty this time.

One of my Christmas presents was a selfie stick.
We are practicing using it. Can you tell who is 
taking the photo? I love the clouds behind us.

More ice skating.  It looked fun, until you saw someone
fall, ouch!  I don't know that my oldish bones could take
a fall on the ice, so I will be content to watch.




We like walking out to the end and watching for birds.
We call it the bird walk.



These are Blue Heron tracks in the snow. 
I saw them, then saw the blue heron right near the waters edge.
Unfortunately it saw me, and flew away before I could get my camera out.

We did find where it flew to. This was the best 
I could get zooming in.


Do you see our shadows in the grass? 
The Heron is in this photo too.  Can you see it? No, 
now you have an idea of how much I zoomed in to 
get it's photo.  I want to get a camera with a bigger zoom lens. 



This is a zoom in of the sea gulls. I wonder how they all stay warm.

My new year hair cut.  I love how they styled my hair.
When I wash it the curls will come back.  Maybe that
will be a goal this year, try to figure out how to straighten my hair.

We were brave and walked out onto the ice.  We will probably never
get out this far on the lake again.  We don't typically go out in boats or swim in the lake.



He loves our walks, and is a good sport with all my bugging him
to do different photos.



Here we are out on the lake.  I love the clouds in the background.
I love my new selfie stick.  I can't wait for our 2021 adventures.
I'm going to try to keep up with all the dates this year and post them faster.
Hope your new year has started out healthy and safe.
G.G.
