Wanna take the plunge???

Remember those azure blue Lake Superior waters I showed you last July?
Well....
THIS
is
the
same
lake
taken yesterday:

And we do have people who take the polar plunge into these icy waters, just for the fun of it.

NOT. ME.

And, no, I don't have pictures of the Polar Plunge for you today either.

I just happened to drive by yesterday as we were touring some friends around Presque Isle and we saw the lovely ice on the walkway out to the lighthouse, and I HAD to take pictures for you.


Look at the treacherous ice on the walkway out to the lighthouse NOW!:



Let's look CLOSER, shall we?
How would you like to try and make it out to the lighthouse NOW on this walkway?:

I wouldn't even make it past the first hump of ice and would have fallen in the icy waters!:


But isn't it gorgeous???:




Even the logs and rocks on the sandy beach, covered with snow was pretty:



Oooooo, and that LIGHTHOUSE on ice? Awesome~!:








I just couldn't stop taking shots of it!:



I was mesmerized by the icey slush waves hitting the sides of the cement walkway sides too!:




I wondered how the lighthouse keeper, (back in the day) got to shore to get his supplies, too!:



I mean, would YOU want to get in a rowboat at the lighthouse and
cross
this lake
to get to shore?:






Nope.
Me neither.
I hope he had a half of a cow in there and maybe a bushel of rice:





More of the rocky, snowy shoreline:



And stupendous icicles!:


All of a sudden I am craving a slushy.
How about you?:






And maybe my Snuggie:



And some hot tea:






















Now where the heck DID I put those pamphlets
about the Mexican cruises?????......
