It’s been an interesting winter in the ice department. While most lakes have had very thin, bad ice Lake Florida has had good ice the entire winter for the fishermen and ice skaters. It has been a different story for the resort owners! The ice has been pushing and moving the sand up towards the […]
The beautiful Frost
February 5, 2012 by
Today was a beautiful day. We woke up to all the trees covered in frost. We’re very thankful we aren’t getting all of the snow like Colorado, but we sure could use some! Bob put the snow blower on the tractor today (just in case!) It was pretty cloudy all day so no sunset to […]

What a difference a day makes when it comes to a sunset. We got these pictures right before the fog started setting in – Fog in February? Isn’t it strange! A high of 47 degrees today – did I say it’s February in Minnesota?! One minute later the color had changed to this:
The sunset on 2-1-12 in Willmar

We had to leave the resort at 4:00 to do some errands and by at church by 5:30 to help with confirmation. Of course tat meant we wouldn’t be able to get our usual sunset picture from the resort. We took the camera along and hoped we would be somewhere with the sunset visible at […]

We’ve had way too many days with the clouds covering the sun as it was going down. On the 28th we finally got the chance to snap a couple of pictures. I waited as the sun came down and out from under the clouds hoping the clouds wouldn’t close in! 6 minutes later the sun […]

Thursday was a very cold and windy day. Not the kind of day I want to be outside taking pictures, but Bob braved the cold and wind and got pictures of the sunset for us. Can’t believe how much it can change in 5 minutes! It’s just like the cardinals- you have to look quick […]
A friend at Dickerson’s Resort 1-12-12

Thursday was a very exciting day. We usually have a male & female cardinal here in the winter, but this year we haven’t seen them. The male finally showed up! He was back at least 5 times throughout the day. They never stay long though. Hoping to see the female sometime soon. Of course they […]
