ice ice baby, too cold too cold

While on vacation up north - one would think that it would be much colder, much snowier and much icier than Minneapolis and Saint Paul, right?  Wrong.  Well, except for the ice, maybe, but only around good old Lake Superior... and then again, is there ever no ice around the lake??  That water is FREEZING!  Okay, so I know that in the summer there is no ice, but my point is you can get hypothermia on a 105 degree day if you jump in that lake!

I lucked out with the most beautiful three days worth of super clear, blue skies and I took full advantage of the gorgeous color it created in all of my iced out lake scenes.  I mean, we are talking absolutely some of the most beautiful blue skies I have ever seen!!  Who wouldn't want to take a picture of that??

I lugged my poor husband out to the town of Two Harbors to walk around the actual harbor area which, and this still baffles me, is the first time in either of our almost 30 years of visiting the Superior Shore of actually seeing the harbor... hmmm.  I think we need to recheck our vacation priorities!  Too much time spent cuddling in front of the fire and not enough time spent exploring!

I have about a billion more pictures of ice and I'm debating on releasing those to Etsy.  They're all pretty cool and I'm definitely thinking that they would make a great greeting card set - for what, I'm not sure.

Anyway, as usual, make sure to keep checking my Etsy site for more fun Lake Superior photography!
