The wind this ,morning was frigid on the hands taking pictures. Thirty Seven degrees in January and February is great, but in April it’s frigid. I watched the surfers trying to catch a wave, but it wasn’t happening, so I left. The sky returned to blue at noon.
This mornings rain was welcomed by most if not all, the afternoons fog a surprise. The gull below was dive bombing after a fish. I had hoped to catch him with a catch, but it was not to be. To be sure there is always beauty to be found on rainy/foggy days.
After a couple of warm wake-ups, this am’s chilly air wasn’t the best, but that’s one of the problems with this time of year, you get a couple of Summer days and then it’s back to Spring. The wispy white clouds and the color of Big Blue highlighted this days beauty. We have exited from a relatively easy Winter and are enjoying how 2016… Read more »
On Sunday afternoon, Joel Petersen took the Joy out for the first time since its compete overhaul, and said he was more than satisfied with how it handles now with the higher rails and resulting added weight in the stern. We are looking forward to the season’s whitefish catch… especially since spring has arrived, and with it, eagerness to… Read more »
Carlson’s Fishery will be open tomorrow 10 am to 4 pm. http://carlsonsfish.com/
Today’s photos are flashbacks from this time frame one year ago (otter, above) and two years ago (icebergs, below). The Joy: that’s more recent, taken just after the previous snowfall. “Early spring” in Leland!
Not much happening today, it’s cool and gray. On the way to town this morning I came upon a group of turkeys crossing M22. The boss turkey in full blown feathers all fanned out turned and started marching straight toward me in my lane. I of course stopped and he approached the front of the Jeep to the point where… Read more »
Leap day is here! Do something fun today. We awoke to another 2″ of wet, heavy snow. The “warm” temps of yesterday dropped below freezing, with wind out of a northerly direction. By afternoon, however, we are seeing bright sun against that snow! I’m adding a few more photos from the Joy’s return trip to Leland. Plus, if you would… Read more »
Wow, record high for today was 47 degrees in 1983 and at the moment it is 50 degrees. We were gifted with partial sunshine earlier and it is a nice day so far, but my “Dark Sky” app just informed me that drizzle will be starting in 20 minutes along with light snow (0 – 1 inch) from 6 pm to… Read more »
How nice it was to awaken to clear skies and rising temperatures. It lasted the morning and by early afternoon… mostly cloudy. The wind is still a major factor, but a impending storm with prospects of 22 inches of new has been shelved, at least for the moment. I missed the JOY being returned to Fishtown as I drove to… Read more »
