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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
