It is easy to appreciate the beauty of Lake Michigan on those glorious summer days when the crystal water reflects the blue sky and there is a gentle summer breeze. But it is just as beautiful in the winter when the wind is brutal and any exposed skin surface is painful. We hiked on snowshoes down to the waters edge and it was breathtaking----and the most brutal wind I have ever been in. These pictures were taken at Petoskey State Park--where we find seaglass and those unique speckled Petoskey rocks in the summer.
