The power of a few blades of grass to scour away sand and rocks is incredible.
CYA!
This mule deer went bouncing down the mountain when I went in for a closer angle.
Caves and Kayak
Lake Superior has many colors, from the browns of the mud bluffs to the ice clear and ice cold waters of the north shore rocks. Here it is green, and so is the Meyer’s Beach sea cave it is illuminating.
Ripe
Gooseberries ripen early at the tree line. As do other fruits; we found full patches of raspberries later.

I expected to see a sunset over the ocean by Monterey; I forgot about sea fog, which has its own charm.
Ice Storm
Blowing snow gusts across Echo Lake.
