Webster, Massachusetts

Lily Pond in Southern Mass., near the Thompson, Connecticut border, seems more of a lake than a pond. It is not very accessible because of the narrow roads and tightly spaced cottages. It's probably a great place to live if you want small roads to walk along, and you like all your neighbors close, but for people who prefer open space the shore of this pond is too densely populated. The pond was completely covered over with ice and a coating of pristine snow, and on one of the roads leading in from the main thoroughfare we saw a very pretty marsh area that was also covered with a smooth blanket of undisturbed snow.
