Rice Lake, Ontario – Spring

Gores Landing on Rice Lake. Taken on a beautiful spring day in April. A striking difference from when I was here a month ago and the lake was covered in ice. The time I saw the otter, related post: Rice Lake Otter

Spring is on it’s way. A few more days till the vernal equinox, the calendar says.
This winter won’t let go, Rice Lake is frozen through to the other side.
A cold wind blowing off the wintry lake, we hear the lake moving underneath the ice.
Splash, an otter appears, slipping through a hole in the ice to catch and carry fish to her babies. They nestle underneath the dock. Spring is late this year.

Rice Lake is a lake located in south-eastern Ontario. The lake is 32 km long and 5 km wide. It’s fairly shallow and was named for the wild rice which grew in it and was harvested by the First Nations people of the area.
