what an incredible way to say goodbye to a year
walking across a frozen lake with special friends
while wrapped up for sub-zero temps
with twinkling snowflakes swirling down in silence
under the watchful eye of a beautiful moon
and waking up to see it all in a new light in the morning
as we welcome in the new year
“i always loved the idea that a photograph was a memory frozen in time.”

I have my glasses on.... 
Seems as though we share a similar view. There is nothing like a lake view – frozen or not, it’s still intriguing. Peace and happy new year!

We are not used to waking up to 37 degrees. I am having a hard time remembering I grew up in the Catskill Mountains and lived up North, was in South Korea during very cold winters….I can’t say I like the cold very much anymore.
