Fire in the Sky

Another from Legend Lake, WI

Solitude. Tranquil. Peaceful.

Solitude.  Tranquil.  Peaceful.  Those are the words that come to mind when I'm out on the lake early in the morning especially during the week when the weekend crowd are nowhere to be seen.  It doesn't matter what the weather is, it's always a special time watching the world come alive to experience a new day.

Feeling Spring

While it's by no means warm, you can tell that spring is nearly here.  Today the temps are supposed to reach the upper 40s even though the morning was still below freezing.  But even then, you could tell it was going to be a warmer day.  A haze was forming in the sky and on the horizon.  Snow is evaporating and causing morning fog.  This is the time of year in Wisconsin that is often a tease.  Yes, today will be seasonably warm but will it hang around or are we due for our usual frustrations when is snows in April?

Time will tell.

Today's image is taken from the Third Ward of Milwaukee with a view of the Hoan Bridge and the Milwaukee Harbor Lighthouse during sunrise.

North Point Revisited

It's been some time since I've visited North Point on Milwaukee's Lake Michigan lakefront.  Sometimes it seems like I'm there every couple of days and then I go months without even driving by.  This morning, I decided to revisit this spot as I have a current portfolio published in Wisconsin Trails magazine.  I'm glad I went.  The surf was rough and I wish I could have stayed until there was enough light to catch the waves crashing against the ice causing classic explosions of water into the air.

Instead, I caught this image looking south toward the city.  The sun won't come up for another half hour or more but there enough color in the sky caused by the reflecting lights of the city.  Good morning Milwaukee.
