November is here, and brought the icy cold with it. For Halloween, we decided to tromp through the woods like good little Hallow's-Eve spirits. Seward was in the high 30's, but by the time we got 25 miles out of town, everything was covered in a thick frost, like this little plant.
It was a beautiful fall day, and our first day hiking around in freezing temps. These logs were all covered in chonchs.
We were hiking around Trail Lake.
This frozen lake puddle is a wonderful example of solid water geometry. Ah...science in action!
This salmon had died on the edge of the lake. The perfect Halloween Zombie!
We found a large broken up puddle on the trail. Since we had the guns, we decided to have a shootin match at the ice chunks. When you hit them, they explode in what sounds like a shattering of glass.
I like to eat ice. mmm.
After a long romp in the woods, we came back to the house with grand plans of getting dressed up and hitting the town for Halloween. The romping had exhausted us, so we layed down for a nap only to wake up and find that our mold problem, which has moved us to the living room and out of the bedroom, has now travelled to the living room. So we're now surrounded by the mold. Ewe. In our exhausted state, we decided to end Halloween with an "Evil Pizza". He's about to spit on us.
Novemer 3rd brought our first real snow! Look, the Spectacled Eiders like to eat it! We've reached winter, and the darkness has set in. Here comes our 6 months of cold!
