Don't worry, I'm not growing a halo, honestly. The water was frozen at the time!
As it was a balmy 41F (5C) this afternoon I took myself off to Middle Creek stopping at Dunkin Donuts on the way for my favorite Large Hot Cappuccino with 1 sugar. Arriving at Middle Creek I had a scan around for the Sandhill Cranes without any success. Everything was frozen solid, there was a large group of Tundra Swans, Canada Geese and assorted duck way out on the ice off Willow Point and several Ice Fishermen trying their luck near the dam.
Here's a few scenic shots from my afternoon visit.
