The return?

It appears I can now blog from my iPad, but will I?

Glow

A beautiful peachy-pink stripe on the horizon. From 4/16/12.

Early Spring

Last year I posted a lot about how LATE spring was, this year it is the opposite.  No doubt, if you are a regular reader, you have noticed that we haven't had any ice on the lake this year. This spring, the purple carpet of flowers is a month early.  From 3/26/12.

Periwinkle

Purpley-blue water on 3/20/12.

WAYBackblogging: Lake Geneva Sunset

Lake Geneva is no Lake Michigan, but it's beautiful and not very far away, either. This was taken in August 2009, but I just found it in my photo cache. The colors are stunning.

Sky of Many Colors

And Lake, too. From Friday, 5/27/11.

A Lake of Purple

“Yet marked O where the bolt of Cupid fell.
It fell upon a little western flower,
Before milk-white, now purple with love's wound,
And maidens call it love-in-idleness.”
A Midsummer Night's Dream

These beautiful carpets of purple flowers are infesting lawns up and down the lakefront.
See the lake in the background? A bonus post to honor the Bard's birthday.

Always Look on the Bright Side

My flight was fogged in on Thursday, which meant the Friday morning flight was very early. Lucky me!
A much more industrial sunrise than I am used to on Lake Michigan.
But so colorful.
Farewell Toronto, Queen City of Lake Ontario! From 4/8/11.

Glowing

Radiating pink and purple off the icy patches. At dusk, Wednesday, 2/09/11.

Shore Isn't Scary

This reminds me of the opening scene in the Sound of Music, except with a giant Lake crashing against big rocks instead of "a brook that trips and falls over stones on its way." Really, it's only the birch tree that reminds me of anything. Well, and the water.
Busy waves today.
The harbor-marker lighthouse was braving the waves. Couldn't get a good shot of the breaking waves, you'll have to take my word that they were big out there.

Oh, and the title? It's late, it's Halloween, it was the best I could do.

Subtle Rays
