Spirit of Winter

A little more patience before being able to swim at your own risks, unless you feel like shoveling and breaking thick ice before reaching the freezing water.

Encore un peu de patience avant d’aller pouvoir nager à vos risques et périls, à moins que l’envie ne vous prenne de pelleter la neige et de casser une glace épaisse pour atteindre l’eau glacée.

Nice photo. It seems like you have had a snowy winter this year. I hope you are enjoying it... Sorry for posting a "It feels like spring" photo on my site. I don't mean to "rub it in". -Ryan of OC Photos.

je pense que l'on va prendre l'option d'attendre encore un peu avant d'aller nager.
Belle photo.


I think that one will take the option to wait still a little before going to swim. Beautiful photograph.

Hum, je suppose que si on se fait un trou dans la glace pour plonger, on nage aussi a ses propres risques... je n'ai pas mon lawyer avec moi, je renonce.

Bon alors on peut patiner ici au moins ?

C'est assez fascinant pour moi, cette idée de marcher sur la glace d'un lac, cela n'est jamais possible chez nous...Aujourd'hui,les photos de Mimmu (Finlande) sont aussi impressionnantes dans ce style!

You can't swim yet but at least you can enjoy the view :)

Love it Alex! When you click on the photo and see the sign and lifeguard stand, it's even funnier!

Hey Alex, thanks for stopping by my blog. Things look chilly in Boston!

Alex said...

This lake is the “Mystic lake” located in Medford/Winchester. In spite of appearances, we didn’t have much snow this year, and the winter was quite mild and late.

Quand le lac est pris, on peut en effet patiner et même marcher, mais comme les températures ne sont pas assez froides cette année, mieux vaut rester sur la terre ferme !

Hi Alex,

Thanks for visiting Passante's World. Our weekend snow is now melting. I don't envy you the cold in Boston -- but in every other way it's a wonderful city.

La glace est assez épaisse pour patiner ? En tout cas elle est très amusante cette photo. Et tant que j'y suis, merci pour ta visite chez moi.

Hey Alex! Thanks for the stop-by! =)

Great snow shot...and I hate to tell ya that I'm about to lace up my running shoes and throw on my T-SHIRT and go for a run in our 65-degree weather!
