Munising Fall in Munising, Michigan in October of 2015
What can I say about the blue ice in Mackinaw City? For one, it was awesome. I snagged a close up shot of the ice as I wanted to capture the character of the ice. 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. I took a lot of close up shots of the ice and this one is one of my favorite because the sun came out from under the clouds and lit up the ice and showed the awesome details of the brittle ice crystals.
Mosquito Beach in the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore is not your typical beach, this beach has many layers of stone lining the shore. I loved the color of the stones and the ability to see the different types of stones on the beach.
