The weather today kept changing from snow, to freezing rain, to snow pellets, to ice pellets, to sleet and back to snow again. I don’t like the icy stuff, especially in my yard and I rather only see it when it creates the ice formations along Lake Superior.
Ice Up High
A month ago the leaves were falling, but this morning snow was falling instead and blocked any hint of a sunrise.
October Lake Sunrise
The autumn colors are peaking in the southern part of the state but in the northern counties, autumn is past the color peak and many leaves have found a new home on the ground so memories and pictures have to be the visual reminders until next year’s autumn display.
Autumn at Lake Superior
Sections of Lake Superior shores are needing to be clean up after yesterday storm which had big waves crashing in from the strong winds. Today people were surveying the damage and even these birds were checking out the new debris which the waves washed up on shore now that the lake has quieted down.
Surveying the Storm
Today was a great fall day to be enjoyed outside before the weather changes as it is more pleasurable to watch a sunrise or sunset when the white is from clouds and not snow.
Superior Sunrise
Some people were enjoying a late summer warm day with water activities today as the temperature climbed above 80 after a previous chilly week. But while pools and smaller lakes would be warm enough for swimming, Lake Superior near where this duo were checking out the water is already down to upper forties so it would be a very refreshing swim.
Checking out the Water
The sailboats were resting in the early morning light but after a cold, wet week, I suspect that some of them would be spreading their sails on the lake on a sunny Sunday.
Sunday Sail
The wind and rain from the storm churned up the Lake Superior as the waves crashed into shore.
Stormy Superior
With school starting soon for some students and the long holiday approaching, some people are trying to get the last vacation in before the unofficial end of summer. And some vacation activities may include water adventures on the lakes, like on Lake Superior near Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore to view different rock formations and waterfalls..
Colorful Cliffs
This morning in the state, some woke to storms and for others the sunrise tried to poke out between the clouds as the rain retreated.
Morning Pink and Blue
