Plitvice Winter

There were weird splashed of green throughout the park.

We were not the only things in denial that it was winter.

Some plants were still trying to flower.

Spiders were lost in the snow.

image_thumb15

Ducks were walking on water.

And trying to figure out why they didn’t migrate.

And huddling to avoid the cold.

These are not good snowshoes.

They were gathered around the small passage through the lake that was broken by the ferry.

The ferry had to break new ice every time it passed.

In the wider part of the lake there was a bigger unfrozen gap.

But the ducks don’t like it here because there are no tourists to feed them.

This is a waterfall in the summer.

We went in search of more waterfalls and on that path we found trees frozen to the lake.

It was warming up
