Almost fiery temperatures in December and a deep January cold set the stage for the kind of hike that can leave you grateful, speechless, and hopeful for the beauty of the world.
My favorite views coated in snow and ice . Love the mysterious haunting pictures ! I am reminded this year with the unseasonable weather conditions this week and next that there was a similar January in 2006 . We had just purchased our cabin, and my son and I had come up to visit about mid month . It was 50 degrees and I was out cleaning windows on the sunny side . Later we drove to a very still and quiet Meyers Beach and encountered a lone Kayaker who was boasting about having just paddled to Devils and back . Despite the warm temps and the still lake , it seemed to us a foolhardy thing to do by yourself ,but he was high on his adventure .
At the time having just gotten my dream of a place to call our own in Bayfield ,I was very concerned about what was happening then to the the Great Lake , and hearing reports of the lake being low . That was about 18 years ago , and tho I am not in denial about global warming I have known El Niño before . Yes to just enjoy the beauty that presents itself as we experience it day by day .
Sweet! Love your photos--almost ghost-like, super-natural. Ethereal. We had a similar experience here, although we don't have the lake to help us see the immensity and grandeur of nature. But we have been locked in cold, wind and snow for nearly two weeks. Enjoy!

Ahh… the essence once again of the present moment. Deep in the soul. Thank you for that beauty.
Thank you for the gift of stillness and gratitude amidst the wild clicking sawing clocking booming symphony of the storm in the islands.
I recall that feeling cross country skiing deep in the U.P. Woods after a snowfall.
