When Morning Light Breaks Through

View from Jelinek Road looking west to Lake Michigan and the Manitou Islands --

Here Comes the Sun!

Clouds lifting over Lake Michigan

We went out under still-overcast skies, but in the west, over Lake Michigan, the clouds were lifting, promising a sunny day.

South Fox Island like distant white mountains

Manitou Islands kiss on the horizon

Ice in the Manitou Passage

Ice only offshore northwest Michigan and up around Drummond Island at the eastern end of the U.P. The rest of Lake Michigan is ice-free, Erie and Ontario are open, and Lake Superior still frozen. This is according to my friend reporting what she'd seen on the Canadian Ice Service site.
