Waning Winter

Don't know why I like this subject so much. I always look out for it when coming home in the late winter/early spring. I love catching either water or ice interplay with the old, unused agricultural station. Then, I always love the leftover leaves that refused to give in to the winter harshness. They, too, hold out for spring.

Winter "Ice Mushrooms"

We were able to check out a Lake Michigan beach in winter. Always a neat contrast to a summer visit, a winter beach amazes with ice structures including these iced over pilings.

Whaleback Natural Area (hiking trail) is in the background.

Yes, some of these have faces to me!

I see another face.

Here is a 30 second look at windy, chilly beach weather.
