Winter Scenes from Up North

Over the Christmas holidays we visited my wife’s parents up in Rogers City, Michigan.  I took a little walk through Herman Vogler Nature Area one morning, and snapped a few pictures.  The day was sunny, not too cold, and overall beautiful.  Here are a few shots from my hike…

Here is a “self Portrait”, done in shadow.  Did I mention it was early morning?

There were lots of signs of wildlife, including these cute little tracks in the snow.

  1. These are great! Winter can be so dreary and grey but you've done an excellent job of capturing the elegance and rush of life under that blanket of snow. Kudos to you my friend.

    And I didn't realize you were so tall. Is it hard to buy pants that long??
