Frozen beach walk

The low water level of Lake Pend Oreille in winter exposes the beach in front of Condo del Sol in Sandpoint, where cool temperatures at night have frozen the shallow waters. Taking advantage of a warm, sunny day, Jackie Hethorn took her dog, Kujo, for a walk there over the lunch hour on Feb. 16. They admired the shoreline and its unusually shaped icy edges, shown up close at right.
