Got out to Burnett Pond in Savoy the other evening, a spot not quite visible from the road, but nonetheless worth a visit or two.
The ice is just beginning to form up there (Savoy’s a “hill town,” whereas I live in the Deerfield river valley) and I found a few views worth setting up for.
Here’s one, perhaps my favorite [who in God’s name leads with ‘their favorite??’ ], a reflection of ice forming beneath a nascent sunset:
The pond was still enough to see past the coalescing ice to its shallow shoreline bottom:
…to the wind-whipped ripples of golden sand beneath a textured slurry of water in-between states:
Finally the sunset did its thing, coloring the sky in hues of citrus and garnet:
It’ll be colder tonight, and at the risk of boring you, I’ll be up way before dawn in search of ice.
So beautiful and serene.
You know very well that you will never bore us, with your lovely words and photos. Happy Thanksgiving!
Very, very nice. I hope you were wearing a good warm jacket.
Yes, I was, thank you, and hat and gloves as well!
