Shine

I love the way all the lines in the sky and the reflection on the water are converging on the horizon, which is just slightly yellow. From 4/18/12.

Words Fail

This has so many interesting elements, I'm not even sure what to say. I guess we can just look and enjoy without any description. From Wednesday, 3/7/12.

Skyline

A single lonely contrail from a plane traveling vertically? A rocket? From Monday, 2/20/12.

Sky Squiggles

Lots of contrails in the sky this morning.

Setting Sun

 This was taken at 4:10pm (roughly).

 This, too, shifted a bit left to get the contrails.

This was 15 minutes later, deeper, pinker, and oranger.

Looking Up?

Notice the contrails striping the sky? Notice that you can see the sky and it is not obscured by clouds? Maybe spring will return after all. From Thursday, 4/21/11.

You Want "Icebergs" in Lake Michigan?

This is the best we can do (unlike this). Big, huge chunks of snow washed into the harbor channel by last week's big storm/waves.
The second "iceberg" (in back) is piled up along the concrete breakers.
For scale.
Here's one giant non-eroded pile of snow on shore. There are piles like this all along the shoreline. And all this after several days of melting in the warm (40 degrees!) temperatures.

Oh Yes, They Call it the Streak...

...What? Am I dating myself with that title? There are streaks there! Look! From yesterday.

Oh Say Can You See

By mid-morning's light...
For some reason this reminds me of fireworks. 9am Tuesday.

Parallel Lines

The contrails in the sky line up almost perfectly with the waves. Taken about 9am.

Plaid Sky, Sun, and Trees

Here's something new. The sun is rising later now, and I had my camera with me so I took pictures on my way in to the office. Wow.
