Another one of those days that had everything Mother Nature could bring. Deep dark clouds with pockets of blue and billowing whites. Drizzle at times with periods of snow. Temperature in the forties with wind gusts in the twenties. Leelanau County color is shown on TV at 50% with the peak predicted next weekend.

The day began with big waves splashing over the breakwall along with BB sized hale. A rainbow graced the western sky as a lonely surfer fought the wind, waves and rain. In the early afternoon occasional pockets of blue opened up, what can you say other than it’s an eclectic weather day.

The morning began with incredible cloud formations to the east over Lake Leelanau. The ever changing sky continued all day. This weekend the “Peepers” should be rewarded with color that gets better as the day gets longer.

A brisk wind out of the Northwest was just right for about 10 surfers just after sunrise. I waited for near 15 minutes for someone to ride a wave and decided to leave. I was checking out Facebook when a couple of surfers stood up and I captured the moment with my IPhone. The telephoto was taken with my Nikon…. Read more »

Fair skies ruled the early morning dawn and as the sun began to rise, the clouds started to move in. The result being a sunrise with a great ball of fire. Around noon, drizzle and then rain began to fall. What kind of day was it?… An October day.
