Frozen Cedar


 









A cedar tree covered in ice from Lake Superior wave splashes makes for a beautiful scene.  Usually this type of photo is rather lacking in color but in this one the cedar colors bring a welcome sort of warmth to an otherwise "cold" photo!

Ice Drops


 









The other day while watching the waves crash thunderously into the Lake Superior shoreline, I was drawn in by the details of the ice and the way the water was dripping down after the ice got smothered by a wave. 

Frosted Forest


 









A recent blanket of fresh snow dresses up the forest in northeast Minnesota.

Sunset - Christmas Eve 2020


 









One more shot from Christmas Eve.  The beauty of that evening was very welcome to see after so many cloudy, gray days.  

Early Winter Ice Cookies


 









These photos are from Christmas Eve, I just didn't get around to posting them until now.  Early season ice cookies on Grand Portage Bay of Lake Superior.  Christmas Eve was such a calm, beautiful day and seeing these ice cookies really made our day!





















Changing Sky over Mt. Josephine


 









The sky and the light got pretty interesting yesterday afternoon.  The morning was nice and sunny then in the afternoon this sort of cloud/fog/haze cover moved in and made the light very flat and gray.  Before it had completely moved in, however, some diffused sunlight was still hitting the Mt. Josephine ridge in Grand Portage and it really made for an interesting view of the shoreline.

Mini Snow Mountains


 










Grand Portage State Park, MN

Snow-covered rocks along the banks of the Pigeon River make for a mountainous-looking miniature landscape. Once this scene caught my eye I was fascinated by it!
