Lakeside, Near Diversey

With the sun out and the temperature finally up in the double digits, I thought it was high time to take the new camera for a spin along the lake.

Sadly, all the pack ice that just a day or so ago filled the water from the shore to the horizon was mostly blown out by a west wind. But it was still beautiful out there. And I got to practice the camera's various functions -- optical zoom, digital zoom, "snow" mode, macro. I even made some videos of the waves and some zoo animals. 

And outside the zoo, too. This guy is going, "Acorn shortage? What acorn shortage. This one's right where I left it!"

On closer inspection, that may just be a piece of mulch. Sorry, squirrel.

Now if I could just get the water running to the kitchen again! At least for a day or two, so I can run the dishwasher before the next big freeze ...
