These hanging ice stalactites almost looked like the snow that has coming down overnight and hard to see anything but white.

Massive ice columns can be found on south shore of Lake Superior and inside this column was running water. Although the ice had the flowing water hidden, it could be heard. And that wasn’t such a good thing listening to flowing water in the cold temperature since it was several miles back to a port-a-potty!

This rock reminded me of the upper jaw of an alligator, waiting to clamp down on me with its sharp teeth. And winter is chomping down again with more snowfall today so it is a good thing some people have off from work for the Presidents’ Day holiday. Although it will be more work for those who have to remove the snow one more time.

Mother Nature is putting on a magnificent show this year so thousands are flocking to the ice caves on Lake Superior near Cornucopia, Wisconsin because it the first time since 2009 that the ice was thick enough to walk on to visit the sea caves. There was quite the crowd yesterday and while not the traditional Valentine’s Day gift, for the couples that visited the caves, mother nature probably made an impression on their soul. And there were a few caves that sort of resembled a heart to walk through for a close up view of the ice formations.

During this long, extra cold winter, many people are taking vacations to some place warmer, but apparently my brain has already been frozen since I went further north to look at ice.
But mother nature can turn ice into something very spectacular, transforming sea caves on Lake Superior shores into magnificent ice caves. And when you add the glow of a setting sun, it made the long, chilly walk worth the effort.

With the economy these days, I know budget cuts need to be made, but poor little Johnny could get hurt if he jumped off the dock.

The predawn landscape may be very muted in color, but the pink glow of a foggy morning seems more colorful than a chilly winter day, or at least seems warmer!

Happy New Year!
Some may have rang in the new year last night, but church bells that rang today may have been ringing for peace in the new year. Pope Francis spoke of peace today and said, “This brings a responsibility for each to work so that the world becomes a community of brothers who respect each other, accept each other in one’s diversity, and takes care of one another.”
I wish everyone a wonderful, healthy and peaceful new year!

I don’t think I will be taking a Sunday afternoon drive to the lake to sit on the log and dangle my feet in the water, not when it is below zero this morning with -30 wind chills and floating ice chunks on the lake now.

No rush hour commute for this boat to make it to work on a Monday morning as “The Eagle” has been retired for a while even though it can see Lake Superior were the fishing boat worked for many years. I haven’t found when it was built but it operated out of Bayfield, WI until 1947 and after a short retirement, it continued working until 1972. The boat is presently sitting ashore at in a village park at Cornucopia, Wisconsin looking over Siskiwit Bay on Lake Superior.
