Smoky

I don't think those clouds are gray because of the smoke plume, but the sky still looks a little strange. And interesting. And beautiful. As always. From this afternoon.

Bubbly

The sky looks like it is having a bubble bath. From this morning.

No Lifeguard On Duty

Have you ever wondered how Lake Michigan would look after 2 feet of snow and 15 or so hours of huge winds/waves? Well, wonder no more dear readers!
It looks very similar to a plowed field after a heavy snow. Very bumpy and white. But with piles of snow on the periphery.

Here's a closer look. Click on it to see the larger and more impressive version. All of these were taken from the beach near my home, where we spent our day shoveling 6 foot drifts off our driveway and waiting for the power to come on (it did after 17 hours). The next few days, depending on wave action, should reveal some impressive piles of ice on the shore. Come back and see!

A Whiter Shade of Pale

This title has been in the hopper for a few weeks, because this view fades in and out every few days, but I never managed to get a photo of it until today.

Turbulent

The Lake is looking a bit like I'm feeling. Recovering from fall, recovering from flu, what's the difference, really?

Cloudy sky, Cloudy waters

These chunks of ice were floating around all day yesterday (Blogger would not let me upload a second post yesterday, but these pics are from the 11th). They looked like clouds in the water. And here I have all my geese in a row:

White Out

That's it today. White snow on the Lake, white sky, but not a flake of snow on the ground. Interesting contrast.
