Frosty Morning on Lake Itasca

















It was 27 degrees the morning of October 9th, 2014 when this photo was made.  27 degrees sure feels cold this time of year!  Not like in the middle of winter, when 27 feels like a heat wave :-)  At any rate, this is along the shoreline of Lake Itasca in Itasca State Park, just a few yards away from the headwaters of the Mississippi River.  The cold morning meant that there was fog on the lake and frost on the shoreline.  Combined with the clouds that marched in from the west just as the sun was rising, it all made for a beautiful bit of photography.  To top it off, there were swans swimming around in the fog out in the middle of the lake.  Stay tuned later today for a photo of the swans!
