the day before Thanksgiving 2007 and Kawanhee saw it's first snow of the year. Just a couple of inches were covering the ground when these photos were taken very early in the morning.







During the night, wind from the gap made waves big enough to wash the snow from the beach.



By morning the lake was calm and the polar bears were drawn towards the water.



Not all of Kawanhee's guardian totems were as excited about as the polar bear,



but they stand guard through the snows of winter, waiting for us all to return to Kawanhee next summer.
