January 7 Winter Waves

Picnic Point has quickly become one of my favorite places to see, and today only one other brave soul went out to see it during the afternoon minutes I was there. I did scare up a few robins, goldfinches, and house sparrows on the way out to the point, but nothing looked very lively. The west winds were blowing snowy waves across Lake Mendota, which made the lake come alive as the sun lit it up while lowering onto the horizon. It was cold and beautiful.
