Mist on Moon Lake - Newberry Michigan

I took this on a rare early morning trip in late August 2020. The colors and the mindset it put me in were worth getting up so early! Sign in to see full entry.

An Old Friend Stopped By

Keweenaw Klumps

This was taken in March 2019 near where the Keweenaw Peninsula makes that first big jut to the north. Superior was still open, but near the shore, large clumps of ice were floating everywhere. Sign in to see full entry.
