Porcupine

While waiting for my turn to snap pics of the porcupine
I noticed this sweet beauty.
Warming itself in the sunlight.

The ice is not quite off from the lake.
Ice doesn't just melt from the lakes,
it sinks,
breaks apart
and

washes up.

These ice chunks can be beautiful but dangerous.
As the wind blows and the waves lap these hunks
of ice can push the shoreline into 5 foot heaves of dirt
they can break apart buildings on the shore, and destroy
anything in it's way.

I then asked Amy to take some pics of me. Since I am the one who holds the camera most often, I don't really have any pictures of myself.

This is what followed:
Love the mix/match outfit? What was that?

I have been known to have some attitude :)



Ok, now this is getting silly

That one is for you Julie and Sabin
