The Brown is Back.....

When we get wind from the southeast Lake Michigan reacts quickly. Our lovely blue expanse turns brown as the sandy bottom close to shore gets churned up by the waves. It's amazing how quickly this huge body of water can change....not only day to day, but hour to hour.

So yesterday Fenway and I bundled up for our morning "do your business" walk about 9:00. The wind almost took my hat right off my head, but we walked toward the lake for our usual excursion.

Using my phone I snapped a couple pictures and stopped to talk to another walker about just how powerful Lake Michigan can be. When she flexes her muscles you pay attention!

And, when the waves are breaking on shore you don't walk too close to the breakwater or you get hit with spray. 

Today's walk was completely different. The wind is gone, the lake is flat.....but it will take days for the brown to disappear and blues to return. Always interesting.....Mother Nature and her paint brush.
