After the rain, the summertime flowers welcomed the sunshine again as they displayed a variety of colors.

Many areas of northern Wisconsin are dealing with a large number of down trees from the recent storms, but at least this view of the lake still has its trees from a morning sunrise.

On another hot summer day, a dip in a lake may help to cool down, especially in Lake Superior where the water temperature is 62 degrees, which is warmer than the thirties this spring.

Sometimes after a rain storm, if the sun peeks out while there is still some rain and mist in the air, a patch of color in the form of a rainbow can be spotted. Although this double rainbow appears chopped off by the storm clouds.

This is a nice peaceful beach, but 75 years ago, different beaches were not a tranquil when some 156,000 Allied troops had landed on Normandy’s beaches to attack the German forces on D-Day. Instead of pretty colors reflecting on the sand from a sunset, the D-Day beach landings were bloody as the first waves of landing forces suffering terrible losses.

After 240 days, the temperature finally reached eighty degrees again and you might think it would be a great day to go swimming in the lake without waves. But it would be a chilly dip in Lake Superior as the water temperature near this beach is only 37 degrees.

When I was walking along the shore of Lake Superior today, I thought I had found a unique white rock embedded in the red layers. But on closer inspection, the rock which I couldn’t reach the top of, wasn’t a rock but snow which still hasn’t melted yet even though it is the middle of May on a seventy degree day.

As the daylight is increasing and the temperatures are slowly warming up, the recent snow near Lake Superior has melted and the lake shore hasn’t been covered in ice blocks for a while now so the driftwood is exposed again on the beach.

The very wet and rainy day has the ditches and streams running heavy again. And when the extra storm water reaches lakes, the muddy water can be seen migrating out to the clear water.

This sunken ship on Lake Superior with bone like fingers sticking up out of the water reminds me of my yard after winter storms brought down trees and now there limbs poking up through the snow but the rest of the tree remains under the snow.
