Posted in Ice, Lake Superior, Winter Destinations, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , on March 23, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

The USCG Mobile Bay broke the ice into Marquette’s Lower Harbor this weekend. The sun glittered on the fresh cut ice. I was surprised to see how thick the ice was 4-8 inches. I guess last weekend’s Ice fisherman were safe afterall. Whew!
This is a sure sign of spring’s coming! The Great Lakes shipping season [...]

Ice Fishing–Walking on Water

Posted in Ice, Lake Superior, Winter Destinations, tagged , , , , on March 20, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

These photos were taken on the evening of March 14, 2009. The ice so thin it took less than a minute for an auger to rush through. Water was atop the ice, but so were many fishermen and women.

Winter is fading in the Upper Peninsula. We may have another storm or two. The thaw has [...]

Winter Fishing in Marquette

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 [...]

Happy Valentine’s Day

Posted in Emotion, Ice, Lake Superior, Ordinary Grey Day, tagged , , , , , on February 14, 2009 | 1 Comment »

This morning is blue-grey as I wait for the sun to rise. The brightest splash of color in the backyard is the stained wood on the birdfeeders. It feels cold after the relatively warm temps of February’s Thaw. The return to winter always seems cruel but I know it will snow for at least two [...]

Thill’s Meditation

Posted in Avoidance, Emotion, Lake Superior, Winter Confines, Winter Destinations, tagged , , on February 4, 2009 | 1 Comment »

Thill’s revisited, or should I say I went back into the folder, pulled some more images into Photoshop, ’cause those brown boxes in the face of white and gray made me warm. Those boxes–would they get ruined by the coming snows? Why do they say “seafood”? Why have I never shopped at Thill’s?

February Blues On The 1st, Near Thills

Posted in Bright Sun, Lake Superior, Weather, Winter Confines on February 2, 2009 | 4 Comments »

I woke with a start at a glimpse of blue sky but by the time Mike and I rolled from bed the clouds had darkened the sky and the wind gusts had triggered warnings for up to 50 mph (Intellicast). You can see the dramatic changes taking place near Thill’s Fish House in Marquette’s Lower [...]

Wednesday was my day off and luckily it was one that fulfilled all areas of my life–I was needing that. I was able to take the last digital captures, up in Ishpeming, needed for a project that can now be invoiced. I wrote my column for Health and Happiness. I was able to organize my [...]
