Any time I step outside the house I can hear one of these guys shredding a dead beech tree somewhere. I caught him discarding some wood chips from his latest endeavor.

This mornings sunrise from my home. It was -3F and yesterday Lake Superior froze as far as I can see.

Last week Munising Falls froze completely.

Yesterday at sunset the sun came out and lit up Au Train Island and the ice around it.

Since this is a new account for me, I'm going to be posting some of my older favorites as well as new photos for a bit. This is a path at Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore.

One of Lake Superiors November gale wind storms. It was so windy out I was having a difficult time standing up and keeping my camera steady. The grass on the left is flat.

It was -10F yesterday morning and I didn't have any intention on going outside. I was watching the sea smoke from the living room window and was admiring the view when it started to turn pink. I immediately ran around the house like a crazy person gathering my gear.

This was taken with a 500mm lens and is extremely cropped. I was far away from the bird.

I took this one in my yard on a very snowy day. I used an on camera flash to light up the snowflakes in the foreground.
