how’s the "water"?

I know I said I wasn’t tempted by my icy lakefront anymore . . . but I guess that wasn’t entirely true. Because today I dove right in–or stood right on, as the case may be. Seeing a father/son ice fisherman team from the shore, I couldn’t resist heading out with my camera. They were kind enough to even let me try my hand at the sport, though I didn’t manage to make a catch [which is probably just as well, considering licensing issues!]. So, in case you’re inclined to come join me for a swim, here’s a glimpse for you of how the water is, from where I stood :-)
