Waiting For Spring

We've had a couple warm days and I went down to the lake yesterday morning expecting all the ice to be gone. I was ready to throw my kayak in the water.   But, no.  Winter is relentless.   However, the lake had almost a mystical aura with the ice and fog.  I didn't have my camera, but came home and grabbed it.  I needed to capture the feeling.  I was mesmerized.
Perhaps there's a lesson here.  Life isn't always what we expect or hope for, but sometimes the unexpected is even better.
