Winter on Lake Superior: Part ONE

Before we left for Florida on Jan. 14th,
I took a trip to Marquette, Michigan,
which is about 30 miles from where I live.

It is where I graduated from high school and college.

I love the town and always will.

I try and get out to the shores of Lake Superior, on the edge of town
every season
to take some photos.

So, today, I have some for you and since I took so many photos,
I will do two blogposts of them for you.

Here is Set ONE:



We had some very cold temperatures
along with wind,
which makes the waves fly up against the breakwater and freeze:











And,
the waves push up big ice chunks
against the shore:






This one was taken at dusk
of the Coast Guard station.
I loved the dark ominous sky:










I have taken photos of this log cabin on the shore before on this blog
during summer and fall.
But the drama comes in the winter, when the ice is on the cliffs beside it:


















My fingers felt about as icy
as this
ice clump along the shore while taking these photos!

But it was so neat, I had to take a photo of it! (Nature doesn't wait for wimps):







More ice along the shore:






There is this spot called "Pictured Rocks" in town.
It is 3 islands right off shore and there is a little park there.
There are signs in the summer warning people NOT to try and swim to them
because there are riptides.
We have had many deaths because college kids don't listen and try to do it anyway and have drowned.

This is one of the islands in winter's grip:
They are gorgeous islands, even in the winter.

Stay tuned, more photos in this Set
coming soon on the blog!

Cold Gorgeous Upper Peninsula Winters!

Upper Peninsula
can be a harsh, cold place
in the winter.

But as us Yoopers say..
the harsh winter is worth staying the rest of the year here for.

And, it is also gorgeous in the winter too.

Today, I want to show you some of what we see:






This is my front yard on a cold and frosty morning:









And later, when the sun came up farther. That is our dock pulled up from the water for storage until the lake melts this spring:









I just love it when the trees have ice and the sun sparkles on them:










Branches laden with snow:









The sun shining on the snowy branches:









Sunrise through the trees!:


















Looking at the Marquette lighthouse
on Lake Superior through the branches:









Ice cliffs on the Lake Superior shoreline:
Stay tuned....
More winter photos of Lake Superior
will be coming to you soon....

After all, the countdown for Spring has begun...and soon...
all this ice
will be melting.
