| The causeway |
A quick jaunt to the lake . Sunset is not too far off. It is said that living in a cold climate or high latitude causes the brain to work harder for survival . It makes you a bit more clever as your life does depend upon your ingenuity with the changing seasons. Shelter , food , clothing all need to be more proactive and prepared for versus hanging on the tropical beach. There is actually quite a bit of interesting research on this from adaptive skills to cranial and brain size. What kind of person goes around measuring brain sizes ?

| Foot path through the marsh |
So a trip to Echo an hour before sunset . I was looking for the Otters. The lake is quite frozen except for a small patch of open water up at the northern end of the marsh where the foot path winds across a culvert . I would suppose they are hanging out there now instead of down by the main Causeway.

| Frozen Echo Lake and the Swans |
Below is a perfect Mouse House in the form of an old stump . It looks like the kind of house that some little critter would like to have as home base.

| Pete's Ridge in the setting sun light |
As we take a walk along the lake the sun starts to set lighting the surrounding peaks with some rosy twilight colors.

| Heading home |
After our hike we head back to the car and up the road to the house . The Swan Mountains are glowing . Sunset is an especially nice time here in the Northern latitudes. There are a few moments each day when the sky transforms to magic .

| Jewel Basin |
Goodnight for now to the Jewel Basin. Aptly named for it's gorgeous peaks and views.
