Instead of snowflakes, I rather see the white from the milkweed seeds flying through the air, although most of the pods right now are entry and only a few have any seeds left to take flight.

The squirrel was chattering and sounded like it was chewing me out for the new coating of snow which fell overnight. I didn’t want the snow anymore than the squirrel did.

The melting snow and ice on top of the old dock ramp posts have created hundreds of little icicles that look like rows of monster teeth.

A Sunday stroll on a Lake Superior beach may be a little slippery with the snow and ice, although the snow has been melting the last few days and more sand is reappearing.

Like children, kittens like to play on fences and even the mother cat joined in on the fun playtime balancing on the thin board edge as others tried to knock them off.

My walk on the beach today had a different feel because most of the sand was frozen and I barely left a shoe print as I walked along until I got to where the waves were coming in. Plus I wasn’t able to pick up some of the pretty rocks since they too were frozen to the ground. With the warmer waves today, the snow and ice pack melted back but snow will eventually cover the beach again for the winter.

This bald eagle landed in a tree along the shore of Lake Superior. It scanned the area for a snack as it preened its feathers before eventually taking flight again.

This Lake Superior beach is already accumulating ice on the shore making the rocks extra slippery with their frozen coating.

Apparently this bear decided that it hadn’t stored enough winter fat after a second day of below zero wind chills and had to come out of hibernation for an additional snack tonight.

With the temperatures dropping to single digit overnight and only warming a few degrees by noon, the frost patterns still were clinging to door window glass. I like how they seem to grow in all different shapes.
