I knew it was bound to happen sooner or later this year; however, no matter how much I think I'm prepared for it, I never expect it when it finally does snow. You'd think that after so many years of living here that I would already have supplies, gear, and whatnot for the snow season, but I don't. While today's snowfall wasn't anything for the record books (a mere 3 inches), it still drove home the reality that I never can get prepared early enough. Today, after the temps rose a bit to melt some away, my daughter and I drove up to Madison to do some last minute shopping. Coming home, I stopped in the small town of Monticello and took some shots of Lake Montesian, documenting the winter wonderland. It was iced over with a layer of snow on top, making it look pretty inviting to go and make an ice skating attempt. Obviously, it wasn't a good idea for that and my skills of skating are pretty bad, so we just decided to make it a photographic trip instead. I shot the bridge linking the banks with the small island in the middle of the lake where many a fisherman has tried their luck at catching dinner. While we both walked around a bit, we took some more pictures and got ready to get back in the car. At that moment, a couple of geese thought it should be their moment in the spotlight and flew in at the right time, posing for their fifteen minutes of fame.
