It has been far too long since we’ve been up to Duck Lake.  Last time was to see some of the spectacular fall color.  Now, it is winter.  There is about 6″ of snow on the ground and it hangs on every tree.  There is a rim of ice on the quiet bays of the lake, but waves keep breaking it up further out.  These photos are from a morning walk along the edge of the lake.

I know winter is hard for some, but let’s try to embrace the change in seasons.  After all, isn’t that one of the many things we love about northern Michigan?
