More Lake Michigan Ice!

Although we are melting in the north now (at the time you read this), a few weeks ago, when we went to meet Shelley( from Birding in Michigan and Building a Log Cabin), down in Mackinaw City, Michigan,

Lake Michigan had plenty of dramatic ice.

I wanted to share how dramatic things are on the Great Lakes, even in the late winter!

Just look at THIS!:

These are all ICE CHUNKS that the wind pushed up against the Lake Michigan shoreline!:

I loved the hint of turquoise in the ice chunks!

I had to take pictures of the boats in the winter....on the shore...just waiting for spring!:

Like US, these boats are up on dock, high and dry (in cold storage)...waiting for the ice to melt so they can get back to being in the summer waters!:

The boats are all up on the dock, asking: "Will Spring EVER get here?":

The Mighty Mackinac Bridge "on ice":

See how hard the wind was blowing? (Look at the flag). I was freezing out there taking that photo!

Mountains of gorgeous turquoise ice on the Lake Michigan shore!:

I wanted to climb them SO bad!...But I probably would have had a tragic death:

Ice under the bridge!:

The cold and forelorn shore even has a beauty all it's own:

By the time you see this post, most of our snow is already melting.

But I took so many winter photos during the first few weeks of March, that I will be posting even more of them in the next few days.
