The past few mornings have been cold. Brutally cold. Temperatures in the -20 range with windchill factors around -40 or colder. Today was slightly better, plus the sunrise was quite nice.
I stepped outside our front door at 7:38 a.m. to snap this photo of the beautiful pastel sky and the sea smoke rising above Lake Superior.
Twenty minutes later everything had changed with the exception of the sea smoke.
It was a bitter cold start to the day, but Saturday morning gave us a gorgeous sunrise.
We made an impromptu road trip up the North Shore of Lake Superior last Saturday. It was Sebastian’s birthday and he wanted to keep things low-key. We made our way past Two Harbors, Gooseberry Falls and Castle Danger and brought the kids to Palisade Head. It is a favorite place to go for incredible views of the lake and 200-300 foot cliffs above the water’s surface. The cliffs without railings paired with gusty high winds made it a bit nerve-wracking for Mike who is not a fan of heights.
We made a stop in Silver Bay on the way home. High waves were crashing along the lake shore and we found the perfect place to watch it happen and feel the spray of the water as the waves hit the rocky shoreline. I will post those photos this weekend. Check back!
