I took our dog, Peanut out for a hike in the snow. Winter weather sure hasn't waited for winter up here.

For perspective, Peanut is good sized boxer/pit mix...about 55 pounds of bone and muscle.

Out looking for a shot or two yesterday and noticed a sheet of ice hanging off the bottom of a sign on a stub pier in Ludington. I walked around it until I found the angle that let me frame the North Pier Lighthouse in one of the "divots" on the bottom of the ice and ended up with this. As soon as I turned around to go back to the truck I heard the ice fall off the sign. A few seconds later and this shot would have been missed for good. Another "right place at the right time" moment.

^^ That is really good, I must say. Calendar-worthy.

Thank you.

Thinking a large print for the wall might be in order for the new year. but your idea for a calendar might happen as well.

That is a great pic! Only someone with a great eye, and great "photography instincts" can catch a shot like that.

Agreed, I should have mentioned that imo it's an example of creative framing and "going the extra mile" to discover and capture it.

Thank you both.

I tend to take the camera bag with me wherever I go, so I have it at least in the vehicle in case something like this shot shows itself.

Haven't been able to go out and hunt for shots lately, plus it has been tough conditions to get anything. All white, everything white .

I don't think we will have to worry about boat wakes anytime soon on the Pere Marquette River.


I loved the contrast the peeling red paint on this old fence post gave to the fresh snow.
