A popular destination for swimming, boating and fishing in the summer, Rutland State Park transforms into a frosty site for ice fishing and skating each winter.
This photo blog features the seasonal changes in nature observed in my own backyard and a variety of local environments. The Wachusett Meadow Audubon Sanctuary in Princeton, MA is often highlighted as a model for the positive effects a small nature preserve can have on the larger environment and the local community. Local sites of historical, cultural and recreational interest are spotlighted as well.
All photographs were taken by me. Thank you so much for visiting.
I googled it, and so long as they are protected from the cold with coats, and sometimes with foot pads, it’s acceptable. My first time seeing them on ice, as well!

The dog owners there were telling me that dogs adore the ice. 😉

I wondered about that, but the owners I talked to said the dogs love the ice, and can’t wait to be on it.

I can’t say I’ve ever seen dogs on the ice before.

I worry about dogs here on hot ground and getting their foot pads burnt so I did wonder if those dogs had shoes
