killing time was not the same here as home. nicer and slower and more peaceful.

Exterior screen door. hit with a flash.

Lake snow...hit with a flash. the temps dramatically warmed for a short while. it was probably 8 degrees wamer now then what it was when we arrived. nice.

leaving l'rondelle to go down to boussole.

Theirs that pesky sun again...
