This was the best day I’d seen for spring canoeing on Lake Superior. Perfectly calm, the ice was drifting out instead of packed in the bays. The world looks different from level with the flows.
Wind has made this grass carve a clock face into the snow. The truncated face reflects the short days of winter.
A thick blanket of snow, new from that night, covers Lost Creek Wilderness Area. As the sun comes up there is no wind to disturb it, and no noise to break the silence.
The cold weather does provide amazing things. This is the result of warm days and freezing nights slowly forming large ice crystals on the surface of puddles, ponds, and rivers.
This is another winter sunset from the shores of Lake Superior, featuring early winter ice sheets, and wet feet to get to the location this was taken from.
