Although it was a chilly day when I was at the beach watching the white waves roll in, it was better than seeing the white frost coating the surfaces this morning.
At least the white I spotted on the beach last week was an interesting rock and not frost but there is a freeze warning out tonight so there could be that white frost again in the morning.
A group of immature Horned Larks were scattered on a playground lawn earlier this week. I didn’t spot an adult male to see the hornlike feathers that gives the bird its name.
With the change of the weather and the temperature barely reaching 60 degrees and the low in the 40s, I think these tree frogs are discussing whether it is time to start thinking about hibernation (or catching a ride south for the winter).
With an 80-degree day this late into September, it was a perfect day to goof off and enjoy a beach, even wading into the chilly Lake Superior waters looking for that perfect pretty rock.
