A two-day storm in April hits the Upper Peninsula on April 20 and 21st, 2009. I’ve had to work the day-job so shots have been taking while travelling, and honest, I was as safe as I could be. I pulled over for this shot.
Can you believe that tomorrow is Earth Day? I can’t believe I [...]

The Flu of Heightened Senses
Posted in Avoidance, Emotion, Winter Confines, tagged February Thaw, flu, flu sympoms, Mid-Winter Thaw on February 9, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
With The Thaw came The Flu for my family members. They have all the usual symptoms. Me? I have “the flu of heightened senses” and the world’s worst headache.
When Mike went outside to retrieve the mail in came the ODOR of stinky wood smoke! Just what is the neighbor burning anyway? The wet STINKY doggies [...]
Thill’s Meditation
Posted in Avoidance, Emotion, Lake Superior, Winter Confines, Winter Destinations, tagged finding hope in the middle of winter, overcoming under-earning, poverty wages 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?
I went to [...]
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 [...]
Destination–Carnegie Public Library, Ishpeming
Posted in Ordinary Grey Day, Wind Chill, Winter Confines, Winter Destinations, tagged Carnegie Public Library, Destinations in the Upper Peninsula, Historical Buildings in the Upper Peninsula, Ishpeming in Winter, what to do when it is below zero, windchill days on January 16, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
This is the library you dreamed of when you announced you’d be an author. Your books would be on a shelf and a librarian would lead children to your book. That child would find a snug corner to read your book. The snows would snow. That child would be so far beyond drifts and ice. [...]
What is Sometimes Hidden
Posted in Ordinary Grey Day, Winter Confines, tagged finding hope in winter, winter rants, winter whining on January 13, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
What is sometimes hidden can include your “hope” in winter. My hope (renewed) came in the form of a borrowed car and pulling into the driveway (at home) from the opposite direction. I caught sight of the backyard bird feeders, and a nest hidden among the thick lilacs. These sights pulled me into the cold [...]
Lake Bancroft–Winter Flowers
Posted in Ordinary Grey Day, Winter Confines, tagged Lake Bancroft, The Flu, Winter Florals on December 29, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Today is a snowy day and I can feel the cold permeating the house. The cold is crawling along the floors. I am in combat mode with Smart Wool socks and a thermal man’s shirt. The flu surrounds me at home and at work. I am trying to zinc-up and hydrate. I am eating bananas [...]
Week in Review, December 8-14
Posted in Winter Confines, tagged Marquette Food Co-op, Yellow Dog Watershed Preserve Fundraiser on December 15, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
It’s not officially winter, yet. The solstice comes in another week–at this point we are still loosing light each sunset. This week was about enduring, planning, pampering.
One thing that helps me get through a long Upper Peninsula Winter is making space mental and physical. I cleaned the studio. Bagged up items for resale and cleaned [...]
Winter Beyond the Window
Posted in Winter Confines, tagged an artist's studio, winter photo on November 19, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Winter is beyond my second floor studio window, but I do not have to go out into it until 2p.m. so for now I can edit and be warm.
