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.

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

“Red sky at morning, sailors take warning” is a line from a rhyme used for weather forecasting the past two millennia by mariners. But the sunrise was more pink than red so no storm, especially since the day was in the 40s and it might be the last 40 degree day for the year until next spring.

It looks like a bird was enjoying the beach even if I wasn’t there yesterday and hopefully the beach will be ice free for a while yet.

The very nice warm November day had me wishing that I was up at Lake Superior sitting on the rock bench while listening to the waves.

Although the temperatures remained chilly, a sunset over a beach added a touch of orange warmth on an early November weekend.

The mouth of the Cranberry River changes from time to time when the storms on Lake Superior move the sandbar.

The autumn season is disappearing too quickly so any sunny day is a good time to wander the beach shore lined to colorful trees.

The rainy day hid the sunset today for me, but for some the clouds parted enough to catch a glimpse of the setting sun.
