I couldn't get enough of the blue ice in Mackinaw City. It was very interesting because the ice was really soft on top with a little layer of snow, then below the snow it had really brittle ice crystals, that when you tapped it, it acted and sounded like shattered glass but was still very brittle. Also most of the blue color of the ice was on the very bottom.
We were predicted to get about an inch of snow so I didn’t think much about taking pictures in the morning. However, we were very surprised when woke up to about 3-4 inches and snow covered beautiful trees. I jumped in my car and drove around for several hours taking pictures in all the places I could think of. We ended up getting about 5-6 inches of snow and by midday the wind knocked most of the snow off the trees. I am glad I went out to enjoy this winter wonderland while it was around.
Tunnel Park in Holland, Michigan is a great place to check out a Lake Michigan Sunset. It wasn't looking good for the sunset as it was almost 100% cloudy. The only reason I stayed was because at the horizon there was a thin opening where the sun could shine though. The sun had set and I was starting to pack up when then the sky opened up. The sun lit up the clouds from under the horizon. I am glad I waited it out.
