...Nala chases after her buddy for a walk on frozen Bruce Lake in the Pocono Mountains.

"The Master in the art of living makes little distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his education and his recreation, his love and his religion. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence in whatever he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing. To him he is always doing both."
- Zen Buddhist Text

Beautiful capture. It's a bit scary walking on the ice even if one knows how thick it is :-)

@Frida: We checked the ice thickness with two ice fishermen further down the lake before we trod onto the ice. Safety first!
