Just a Little Wind Today, on this particular day the wind was blowing very hard so I decided to go up to Lake Superior to see how big the waves might be. Well, when it is windy at the lake, the water takes on different colors, there is a lot of clay and it gets all stirred up on windy days. (video below)

So I was just walking along the beach, looking at all the trees laying on the beach and watching the waves coming in. It is pretty loud when the weather conditions are like this.

Waves have been known to be pretty big up here in certain areas along the shorelines.

Lake Superior buoys north of Marquette, Mich., part of the Great Lakes Observing System, recorded waves of 28.8 feet, the highest ever recorded on the Great Lakes. The measurement is an average of the tallest third of the waves over a ten-minute period, which means some waves could have been even higher.

And today some folks were taking advantage of the waves and the wind. These look like flying bonnets. 🙂

But no, they are a couple of para sailors. I watched them for awhile, now it is pretty cold up here today also. I have to give them credit, they made it look like fun.

Just one Ringed Billed Gull happen to fly by as I was sitting on this log enjoying a wonderful day at the lake.
