Friday Bob went out in the afternoon to take pictures of the ice heaves and the resort from the north. The ice heaves are incredible all around the lake! If you have a lake near you, take the time and drive around to see. The docks and lifts look so lonely on the beach. It […]

Friday we set out for our sunset picture at Prairie Woods Environmental Learning Center which is right next door to the resort. We went to the Westby Observatory Building hoping for the best view. There weren’t any clouds, but the sun was pretty. Sunset at 5:36 with stone fireplace

Bob thought we should go to the Westby Observatory, but the sun was still too bright. Interesting what a difference the location can make. When […]

At 5:15 when I looked out the window the sun was so bright I couldn’t look at it. Bob came home with a pizza which distracted me and I almost ended up missing the sunset! The sunset was beautiful and did you notice, it’s 5:30 when it sets rather than 4:30! Spring is just around […]
The Ice & the Beach at Lake Florida
February 6, 2012 by
It’s been an interesting winter in the ice department. While most lakes have had very thin, bad ice Lake Florida has had good ice the entire winter for the fishermen and ice skaters. It has been a different story for the resort owners! The ice has been pushing and moving the sand up towards the […]

What a difference a day makes when it comes to a sunset. We got these pictures right before the fog started setting in – Fog in February? Isn’t it strange! A high of 47 degrees today – did I say it’s February in Minnesota?! One minute later the color had changed to this:
