Fishing? wow, hope they do get some...cool shot James.

Rune Eide said...

Fishing from the deep freezer :-)

Dina said...

You really have to be crazy about fishing to do that.

Enjoy the California weather while you can, James.

Regina said...

Wow amazing winter.
Great pic!

A picture of dedication. Maybe the fish taste better when caught in the winter. One thing is sure -- the fish won't spoil lying on the bank in the hot sunshine.

I always thought of fishing as a laid back half asleep in the sun sort of thing. Yep, you have to be dedicated to fish in the winter.

Malyss said...

I would not feel safe on that ice, it does not seem to be very solid..but at least, they are sure to get FRESH fish!^_^
Great contrast with your vacations!

Ellie Velinska said...

I am craving a cup of tea now. That is a perfect weather to sit home staring at the fire

kayerj said...

I could never see the fun in ice fishing--but I like your picture

you have to be really sure of the ice to venture thereon - mine is an icy reflection this week too.

Suburban Girl said...

Brrrr...are they fishing? Hope you aren't rained out is CA. Not sure if I'll come up with a photo this week...I'm in the photography doldrums.

storyteller said...

Wonderful wintry shot ;-)
Guess you're changing snow for RAIN, eh? We've got wild wet windy weather her in California.
Hugs and blessings,

Quilt Works said...

I really like this photo! It would be a nice photo even without the reflection, but reflection of the men really adds the special dimention that makes the photo memorable! Well done!

Unknown said...

A nice photo - hope they catch something.

MOO said...

What a cold winter pastime...brrrrrrr!

Oh James that looks like dangerous ice! Great shot though! :)

cieldequimper said...

Hi James, hope you're having a good time in California and that you'll be fishing soon! ;-)

Carolyn Ford said...

It's raining as I write this...hope you are enjoying so. Cal! And, I agree with those who think fishing in the ice is second to sitting beside a nice fireplace! But, you captured an amazing scene so beautifully!

Becky said...

This is really a neat reflection, but I hope these guys know about the open water near by.
Hope you are staying dry in California too.
Becky

Diane AZ said...

Wow, even their reflections look frozen. Enjoy your time in California!

Elaine Yim said...

Fishing will be fun. At least there is some life in the deep of winter. Happy Weekend Reflections to everyone. My post today is Venice in Malaysia.

Marka said...

They look oh so excited.

Thérèse said...

I don't think you are going to find any change in the amount of water you are going to see :) depending though where you are heading to...

Sara Chapman said...

I like this one very much. I've done water also, although mine is a bit subtle. You can see it here:

Charlene Amsden said...

Brrrr ... it's beautiful, but I am getting cold just looking at it.

Gena D said...

Beautiful reflection! Brrr... I can feel the cold. Have a blessed week. TY for another wonderful Weekend Reflections.

Gemma Wiseman said...

Those guys almost look as though they are standing on such fragile ice that it almost seems close to water! Brave souls! Great photo!

Cindy said...

Let's hope they catch something other than a cold!

Martha said...

Great capture.

I really hasn't been too terribly cold since you've been gone.

Missing you and Vicki!

desertsandbeyond said...

Er, uh, California is having cold weather right now, but not as cold as Pennsylvania! Hubby is from Meadville, up by Erie. He still talks about how cold it got there in the winters!

Kat said...

Now that looks cold! These guys must really love to fish. Great shot James. Hoping you're having fun! Kathy

Cezar and Léia said...

Where are they stepping on? Thin ice? Scary to me... But very nice shot! :)
God bless you!
Cezar

Melli said...

That shot scares the Dickens out of me! That ice doesn't LOOK thick enough to be standing on! I'm sure it IS... but it doesn't look it.

ruma said...

They are brave.

Ice seems to be broken.
I feel scared.

Jientje said...

I hope you're having fun in sunny California James! This looks awfully cold!!

aspiritofsimplicity said...

Oh my...they look awful close to open water!

myonlyphoto said...

Cool shot!
Anna :)

dianasfaria.com said...

Is this ice fishing? whatever the case may be, they are two very dedicated fishermen!
& this scene is a lovely weekend reflection James!

Lavender and Vanilla Friends of the Gardens said...

Brrrr...cold feet, very "cool" reflection!

Susan at Stony River said...

That's a beautiful photo James, but IMHO, NO fish tastes that good. I'd be inside with the cocoa!!

Amanda Moore said...

Sweet! And snow is not easy to expose so nicely, well done!

Serendipity said...

Lovely shot, I really like the composition.

Halcyon said...

Nice reflection! I prefer the warmer climes lke So Cal though!!

Pat said...

Treading on thin ice...? Lovely photo though!!
