Frozen Lough Lannagh

Lough Lannagh path along the shoreline

Croagh Patrick in the distance beyond the frozen lake

Black headed gull with winter headphones to keep its ears warm.

The Reek - a real sugar loaf.

The snow was deep

White white white

Mallard having a bit of bother dealing with the ice

How long before we see a frozen Lough Lannagh again?

Crunchy snow underfoot it was pleasant to walk along the lake path

A small patch of open water remained on 22 Dec - the birds congregated

Confused Moorhens

It's rare that we see large pine trees so white with snow and frost

The diving board

Swans on the shore - white on white

Lots of photographers walking the path and capturing the beauty of the scene

Open water near the stream's confluence with the lake at the edge of the car park.

Not quite completely frozen.

Robin at the car park - Christmas card scenes everywhere

The stream at the car park.

No sitting around today

Swans, ice, reek
