Back! With Hurricane Sandy Reports

Greetings all,
Believe it or not, I HAVE been taking photos since May, just not posting them.  Eventually, I will do some back blogging and post the spring, summer, and early fall photos of the lake.

For right now, I want to respond to several requests for photos of the waves on Lake Michigan.  The effects of Hurricane Sandy will be comparatively light here in the Midwest, but there are high waves predicted for Lake Michigan over the next several days, so I am chronicling them here.

For starters, here's yesterday morning (10/29/12) about 9am:

Just some mild ripples.

Here's yesterday afternoon, around 3:30:

The waves are definitely picking up by then.  Next entry will be this morning, 10/30/12.  Stay tuned.

Occasional

Okay, so maybe I should the masthead from "...plus a daily photo of the Lake" to "...plus an occasional photo of the Lake." I mean to post every day, I do, but life sometimes gets in the way. So here is an occasional from April 10. Late, but still beautiful.

Relief Map

I fell like this is a view of a relief map of a low range of craggy, rocky hills.  Only blue and gray instead of the browns and golds and greens you'd find in a real relief map. From 1/19/12.

Blended

The churning waves work sand into the water and create this blue-brown muddle. From Wednesday, 10/27/10.

All That Glitters...

Sunny day with pixelated, rapidly-moving little ripples. (Missed 5/5/10 entirely! sorry!)

Vast

I think I've used this title before, but that is the best way to explain how the Lake looks with just the right combination of light, and breeze, and cool. From Monday, 4/26/10.
