Where on the map? Michigan Highway 01! I love this shot due to the snow. It shows just how hard winter has been. Taken on February 28, 2009 as we headed back to our parked car after the Outhouse Classic. We headed past Holmquist and headed toward Traunik and Eben before taking M-94 home to [...]

On the last Saturday in February the Outhouse Classic comes to Trenary. It is such an event that even The Travel Channel was present filming for a segment on extreme races that will air some time this summer. I was sure to take shots of the Travel Channel filming. But more important was the splash of [...]

I spent most of February chasing blue ice and here we find green. Located just off the bike path in the Founder’s Landing area. I often walk here in the warmer months. I rarely walk here in the winter.
Here I am taking a pseudo aerial shot. I am standing above the recreation building that houses [...]

You can be featured here at A Winter Journal!
The question is what became your favorite piece of winter gear or clothing. Write to kimnixonis@gmail.com and you can attach a photo (as long as you have the permissions and rights to do so). As I strove to be more active, more warm, and not the immovable winter [...]

Day two of ice shots near Presque Isle. The fisherman pull out to the ice with trucks and put-in their boats. On shore ice plates pile up in pretty slabs of 5-7 inch thick ice. Mike and I were first out on Valentine’s Day and headed out again today. I was more enthralled with the [...]

I spent today as a youthful 45-years-old. I went snow tubing, snow shoeing, went home and made grill cheese and Campbell’s Vegetarian Vegetable soup. I had energy and smiled. Mike took these photos and I will have more to follow later tonight and tomorrow on both blogs. I have a baby chocolate cake to go [...]
