The annual Alexandria Ice Fishing Derby was held today under glorious blue skies and relatively warm temperatures for this time of the year (but there was a nasty wind)
I am always amazed at how many people show up for this event. I really do not see how sitting on a bucket in the middle of a lake dangling a string into a small hole for hours on end can be any fun. But - there were hundreds out there who would disagree!!
And since today was my first day of freedom from taxes I was happy to grab camera to record the event.

Yes - it was his bright clothing (and stunning white mustache and beard) that made me ask if I could take his photo. Everyone else were wearing drab colours.
@farmreporter my daughter and her family lives in Moose Creek!! My son-in-law works in Alexandria!! What a small world hey! I was in Alexandria very briefly last year when we visited 😄

Yes - indeed it is a small world! Moose Creek is so close by! And Alexandria is such a small place that I just may have bumped into one of them and not known it.
Great fishing portrait of this man. Nice splash of red in all of that cold!

Yes - it is Alexandria, Ontario. Do you know people in my area?

Probably wouldn’t see this in New Zealand!
