Lake Michigan

I took a drive to the lake at lunchtime

I don't work far from Lake Michigan

It takes a long cold spell for this lake to freeze

in another month the water will start to turn blue again. 

One of these days I'll take my camera and shoot 

some of the houses near this park. 

If they don't shoot me first!

Wealth beyond your imagination.

It truly is not a life I would want to live but 

it is interesting to see those mansions on the lake. 

February Smebuary!!!!

What a difference a day makes!

Enough

is 

Enough!

I left work at 

2:00 PM

Got home at 4:30

Not too bad

considering the visibility

I am ready for spring

It's supposed to show for the next three days...

Oh Goody!

Ahhh Home Sweet Home!

End of the day

Last nights commute

There was a haze over the sun that made for this scene.

With all the chatter last week about blown highlights I am now very aware of what happens when I point my camera right at the sun. 

I won't stop doing it though.

This one came out of the cell phone. 

Whimsy

I met this artist (Nedobeck) up in Wisconsin at an art fair in Racine.

It was slow day and we got to talking so he took the picture I bought and started to draw on the back. 

He is a totally sweet, kind human being!!

His whimsical art is just a joy to look at so I can't help but wonder,

where does that come from?

I mean... look at this thing... who thinks that up??

And because I love all things "Cat"

This will be a prized possession.

I truly love water color and I am absolutely no good at it. 

A Change

It's supposed to snow big time tonight. 

We'll see...

Every channel has a different story.

I will just not think about it!

Instead, I am going through my Hawaii pictures 

and it feels nice and warm!

The Antrim Coast ~ Note Card Party

Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling

From glen to glen, and down the mountain side

The summer's gone, and all the flowers are dying

'Tis you, 'tis you must go and I must bide.

Linking to Note Card Party

Brrrrrrr

I was going to post a picture of 

this mornings commute but...

I changed my mind

You don't want to see it.

Sideways snow etc.

Instead a couple of photos that clearly depict the weather.

My precious ponds frozen over.

I don't even want to put the garbage out.

Windchill will be way below zero tonight.

Fire

Just down the street about a quarter mile

Is a pretty spring fed lake

It's mostly frozen over now but a nice spot to catch a sunset. 

I took these a few minutes ago.
