Lake Carnegie Ice
It looks like open water, but really it's a big puddle on top of the ice that formed on Carnegie Lake during a rare week of freezing weather.
There was enough ice accumulated to resist breaking with a stick, but not enough to skate on.
Once the ice is gone, we'll again be able to walk across the lake, on the backs of geese.
Here are links to some of Lake Carnegie's more inspired craftings of ice from previous years, in 2007, 2009, and 2010.

I run past the lake all the time, and I do wonder, is it natural for there to be so many geese? The flocks must number in the thousands.
