part of the Nokiidaa Trail, lake to lake trail, Tim Jones Trail with freshly fallen snow.
It was very pretty with all the snow, though a challenging walk at times.

I would have thought -2C and Jan 05 would be too cold for a bath.

a frozen pond cleared and maintained for skating.
The pond skating is probably the most idyllic part about life in Aurora. Also shows how far north I have moved.
