A sunny day on the lake

Today was much warmer than yesterdays 6 degrees it was a balmy 26 so we decided to take a walk on the lake, the Mendenhall Lake. The glacier was as beautiful as ever and it was fun to watch about 20 - 30 Juneauites enjoying the nice weather. Some were sledding. Others were ice skating. And a crazy few were climbing on the ice burgs that gouged the frozen silt laden lake.

We have walked the lake before but never when you could see the cracks so clearly. It was the perfect day to say goodbye to the glacier. We will miss having such grand natural beauty in our backyard.
