Sunrise over a clear and cold Little Payette Lake

I find myself visiting Little Payette Lake at least once during the winter. Winter there is such a unique landscape. We had been waiting for the sun to come up, shivering in our boots, it was soo cold. But I can tell you that even that first glimmer of light painted my son and I with warmth. These exposed stumps are just a part of the landscape with the high water of summer recedes for winter.
