Did you ever, while looking at a frozen pond or lake, think that the body of water is just sitting there, dead still? That it's waiting to be "uncovered" in the spring thaw before coming back to life? Maybe the top six, eight or ten inches.  But below, things are still moving on, waiting for no one. The air temperature was about 4º above zero, but the brook flowing out of Silver Lake was alive and running with an amazing amount of current. The iced trees and snowy surroundings made for a beautiful winter landscape.
