Donna Nickel's December Activity
I
found myself lamenting yesterday (12/16) that it was not likely we would be
snowshoeing on Teal Lake any time soon - if at all this winter. And then I got

Ice Caves Pictures from Donna Nickel
We went to the ice caves at Lake Superior on March 2. As amazing as the ice formations on the cliffs was the ice we walked upon. You could easily see to the bottom of the lake, as the ice was so clear. There were bubbles frozen into place, and cracks of all sorts. It was a treacherous walk, but indescribably beautiful. We spoke with a ranger who told us that this phenomenon has not occurred for “many many years."
Included are photos I took by aiming my camera toward the lake bottom.

"Blow the Man Down"
As I was snow shoeing across McNaught Island today, I was singing my usual refrain.....
All of a sudden I reach the south rim of the island, and at the top of a 50 foot precipice is the base of a mighty oak that has been blown down. This picture is from the base where it has landed horizontally on a mighty pine.................Way, hey, blow the man down.............
Note that the above picture does not do justice to the vertical steepness of the hill.......Way, hey, blow the man down.............
I then went half way down the hill and took this looking up:
Well, it's time to head back.......
