I almost can't really call this a hike, since it's only 1 mile around the lake and I hike it several times a week just to give Bella a little variety to her daily walks. But it was so gorgeous there today that I have to remember today. It has been snowing at home for 2 days and it was still coming down hard when I got tired of digging out and decided to go to town. I got about 8 inches of snow from the storm. But to my surprise, there wasn't any snow left at Reflections Lake. It is several degrees warmer there than at my house up at 500 feet. I was delighted to see a little group of Trumpeter swans resting on the lake near the far shore. I was able to get a few pictures of them, even though Bella felt it necessary to bark at them. Her barks didn't seem to bother them at all. I guess they were resting while waiting for the bad weather to clear so they can continue their journey to warmer places far to the south. It was delightful to see some blue sky after 2 days of snow and fog.
