Loving A Mild Winter, My Superior View

Ice on Lake Superior doesn't last long.

“There is a privacy about winter that no other season gives you. Only in winter can you have longer, quiet stretches when you can savor belonging to yourself.”  Ruth Stout

January has been a month of peace, quiet and intense beauty on Lake Superior.  Snow frosted balsams radiate a charm that goes unnoticed during other seasons.

Then a few hours later open water on the big lake.

The face of the lake can change hourly as the lake refreshes itself, and the wind shifts. The lake dramatically changes from ice-covered to a few floating chunks of ice, and then back to ice-covered. Sporting new looks adds to the mystique of this enormous fresh water lake.
