Cason J. Callaway 001

Part of our family flew home from Atlanta for Christmas. Leaving Atlanta in the 70’s and arriving at the Duluth airport to a -25 degree wind chill made for quite a shock to the system.

The almost -100 degree drop did provide for a spectacular show of sea smoke over Lake Superior. Upon arrival into Two Harbors, we spotted the ice covered Cason J. Callaway coming into dock.

The sunset gave a beautiful warm glow to not only the ore boat but also the sea smoke over the lake.

Lake Superior Storm

The next day huge waves were hitting the shoreline. Cold temperatures caused the spray to freeze to the rocks and trees.

Snowshoeing

Our granddaughter loves the outdoors in both winter and summer. She got to play in the snow along with snowshoeing.

Deer Antler

Addie didn’t know about deer loosing their antlers early in the winter so she was fascinated with this one. She is showing it to her cousin.

Feeding Chickadee

We also spent some time at a friend’s house feeding birds. Both chickadees and a nuthatch landed on our daughter’s hand. Our granddaughter wasn’t quite sure if she wanted them to land on hers yet. Maybe next year!
