Happy New Year from Walden Pond


The perfect way to start the New Year, cross country skiing around Walden Pond. It was only 12 degrees with an even colder wind chill. I had contemplated taking a plunge as some intrepid souls had done earlier in the day, but my fingers froze just taking this picture. Maybe next year.

As I was skiing, I wondered if Thoreau had made this same journey, so many New Years Days ago.

Perhaps Thoreau went swimming? ;)
