January 24th - 28th

It's coming to the end of January. It's quite cold and there is a covering of snow over the fields and in the woods. The lake is frozen now. Most mornings there are fishermen out ice fishing. 

Asylum lake isn't just for walkers either. In winter it isn't unusual to see people out skiing. 

It was a week of temperatures well below freezing and minimal sunshine. Some days there were clouds in the morning and sunshine in the afternoon! These were taken on the 26th - clouds in the morning, sun in the afternoon. 

Down by the newer beaver lodge. It's all covered in snow now. The water around it is frozen solid. I don't think we'll be seeing them anytime soon!

The other beaver lodges are pretty quiet too. All frozen solid. 

The birds during these few days were pretty quiet too. I could hear them - woodpeckers, cardinals, chickadees and robins, but they weren't hanging around anywhere for too long. There were a few deer out finding what they could to eat.
