Katherine writes: The changes to the lake in the spring are minute by minute, second by second. A few seconds later, this ice was melted. The sounds the ice makes as it heaves and contracts are incredible—like whales talking, echoes in the water.

Yes indeed. In fact, if you click on them you can see them even better, and that first one . . . well. It just knocks me out. Katherine and her lake commune on a deep level.

Looking at the first image, I was reading “changes in the spring… are minute” with the stress on the second syllable of the last word. Took me a couple times. Oh! Indeed, there’s not a moment when some little change is not underway.

Even more beautiful when I clicked on them. A simple reminder from nature to live in the moment…
