My friend John S took this sequence of pictures yesterday afternoon of me skate skiing with the doggies on Lake Gertrude. I'm on skate skis so I go pretty fast and the dogs chase me around and around the lake. It is a good way to get them tired pretty quick. By the end of the ski only Brewster was keeping up and Tank had figured out that he could save energy by taking shortcuts across the lake.
Yesterday I was supposed to be in an all day meeting, but we got out early. In anticipation of the meeting I had gotten up early and gone skiing in the dark. I watched the stars disappear, the sky slowly lighten up, and the trees you see in these photos got silhouetted in the orange of a glorious sunrise. I could hear all the marbled murrelets making their noises as they flew from their nests in the trees to breakfast at sea.
I had thought that after the meeting I would be taking the doggies for their walk in the dark. So it was a huge bonus to get out early and catch the afternoon sunshine on the lake. Patrick
