Lake Michigan, Mid-January 2014

Four weeks after my Christmas Eve walk around Kirk Park I returned to Lake Michigan to see what had changed, and to try out my new camera.

The extreme cold of the past few weeks increased the ice cover dramatically, and now the lake is covered out to near the horizon.

The large piles of ice roughly correspond to where the sand bars or shallow regions near the beach appear in the summer.

I walked out to the first large piles. I am certain the ice would have held me out much farther, but it was difficult walking; slick ice interspersed with patches of snow which might also be deep holes.

After an hour here I drove up to Grand Haven State Park, where many people (comparatively) were enjoying themselves on the ice.

The mouth of the channel was apparently the only open patch of water in this area, and therefore there were ducks in abundance.

Talking to someone about an estranged adult child and their parent, and the person could not understand the child cutting the parent off because "if they die, wouldn't you feel terrible you never made peace?" And it's interesting because... (cont'd)

Father's Day Sunday brunch with @gallafe . Pop-up brunch in the Chez Olga space on Wealthy Street. Pork sisig, singkamas salad, deviled eggs, and rice. Food served until 1:30 pm so you still have time! I think Jim Harrison would have liked this meal.

Lauren Boebert spells things wrong in her tweets because it dramatically increases engagement, hope this helps.
