On facebook, yesterday I saw a photo of the ferry heading across Lake Huron from St. Ignace to Mackinac Island. The surface of Lake Huron was covered with ice. The cold will help the ice form and hopefully next month, there will be an ice bridge from the island to the city. Someone will spud the ice to check the thickness. And if it is thick enough, Christmas trees will be planted to mark the way! And then the residents can go back and forth on their snowmobiles! So if you ask a Mackinac Island resident what the coming of the ice brings, he or she will tell you freedom. Now living it the city, bad driving conditions such as snow or ice, generally mean that I am homebound until the storm abates.
I decided to forego the drive to the river and rather go to a small park near my house to take photos. The creek that runs through the southeast part of the city goes through the park and it is only a half mile away. Good thing too, because I got there to take photos and discovered that the SD card was still in the tablet. So home to get it. I got a photo from the top of the bridge, and then went down the bank (had a twig in my coat hood) to get a photo of the creek. The cold seemed to drain the rechargeable batteries after the two shots.
