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

    Enjoy the California weather while you can, James.

    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.

    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!

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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...

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

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

    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!

    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.

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