Fall is the best season!

Nothing better then fall on the bay. I must say it's the best season of all. I missed Apple Fest this year and traveled to the Boundary Waters of Minnesota. You can't be at all places at once but you can try. I did stop for a visit on the bay before heading south again.

Labor Day weekend

Labor Day weekend is breezy this year but that is great for the sail boats. This shot is from the HD camera on top of the Bayfield Inn. What a great viewpoint whenever you wish to get a view of the harbor.

Wonderful Bayfield Summertime

Sumertime eves are wonderful in Bayfield down on City Dock. The full moon on the channel is
very nice. Sorry for the lack of postings, I was lost in the Scottish Highlands for three weeks in July.

Summertime in the Apostles

Little Sand Bay is a nice spot on a summer day. A nice quiet area to kayak or just walk around on the sand.

Bayfield Fourth of July.

Snow on Memorial Day Weekend

The ice chunks in the channel and around Madeline Island were much talked about in the news recently. But my favorite thing to do is search for snow on Memorial Day and find it deep in the woods each year.

Slowly the Ice Cap melts

And Bayfield has a new Web Cam:

Lake Superior's icy grip

It's been reported that the Ice Road in Bayfield over to Madeline Island is still open
and has set a record for longest in a season. Lake Superior as seen in today's Satellite shot
is still holding it's icy grip on the Northland. When will the ice go out this spring? That might
be a record as well?

The never ending winter of 2013-14

And more to come.........right into spring!

Who got the big snow?

It's Fourth of July in February

Bayfield has a unexpected boom this year due to the Polar Vortex. You can walk to the Sea Caves this year. Thousands are coming to the area to do just that. It's a influx of tourists not normally seen in February. Motels are full, restaurants are busy. The Chamber of Commerce said it's a 5 million dollar boom. There are visitors from all over the world. Word of mouth and postings on Social Media are fueling the interest. Stories on the Weather Channel and Nightly News. Pictures in Newspapers around the Midwest. The above shot taken by the National Park Service shows just hundreds of people treking to and from the caves. I did the trek in the 90's and it was never like this!
We have some real gems right in our own backyard.
