Part Two --- Ice Sculptures: ---- AS PROMISED!!!
The second weekend of January was
a great time to get out and hike in the Door County area less than an hour
north of the Gardens at Waters East. It was relatively warm (34 F) with lots
of sun and a great breeze to “kick up” the wave of Lake Michigan.
Four of us took off on a two mile
hike along the western shores of the lake and we were rewarded with some
spectacular scenes. Because of the
action of the waves and the spray flying up at times more than twenty feet, the
rocky cliffs and the tress along the shore were covered in ice – the power of
wind and water – beauty – nature’s art.
This was a hike that satisfied more than we could have imagined.
As always, I took way too many
photos to put in one posting, so I have divided this into a two-part series. It could be made it even larger since I
have more than one-hundred and fifty pictures from this walk along the eastern
cliffs of Door County. Happy to
share some of them with you. Hope
you enjoy walking with us today.

NOTE: Every photo
posted on this Blog is always taken on the property of Gardens at Waters East – except those under the heading “Watershed”. The watershed is that area of surrounding land, water, and
streams beyond the gardens that nurture the gardens and eventually, slowly move
East where the waters find their way into Lake Michigan and the Great Lakes.
The easy definition of a
watershed is: the area of land where all the water that is under it or drains off of
it goes to a shared destination.
In the case of Gardens at Waters
East. Lake Michigan is that destination.
