It snowed (rather heavily) on April 27'th and when I got up early on April 28'th to go for a walk and check things out, I encountered this ethereal scene at Virgin Lake (a natural area right within Stoughton city limits).

I was simply in awe, and started shooting.. I have posted two of my favorites here in my gallery.

Taken 4/28/19 with Pentax K-1 and Rokinon 14mm.
