Jeff Dennis and Fritz were out and about checking on the thick ice at McLain State Park recently. It never ceases to amaze me how the ice builds up so thick on trees and branches on Lake Superior’s shoreline, yet those trees and branches stay standing, bearing the weight of the frozen waves. I’m sure some of them succumb to the heavy ice, but it seems that many just stand there and come out no worse for the icy coatings. Fritz doesn’t seem to mind the icy scenes either. Jeff says he’s quite adventurous for a small dog, and I think very photogenic, too!

We have a nighttime view of the deer that visit near Jeff’s Little Traverse camp for today’s video. They sure don’t seem to mind the lights of the vehicle shining on them. I’m sure they know from experience, that they’re safe there. Fun to be able to observe them like this.

Not sure anybody can predict anything at this point, but..
HAPPY GROUNDHOG DAY

Nice pics, Fritz has a great life!! They must bubble
the Queen to keep the water from freezing around the
hull?? The video is great as well, Jeff, you must be
giving them a little food now and then to keep them
around-eh?

N-Ice pix! The Ice Monster pic reminds me of a pic from several

years ago and it was called the Superior Monster or something like

that. It looked like a giant mouth with big ice teeth hanging down. I

thought it was one of the coolest pix on this website.

That dog is quite a photogenic little boy.
The pictures are great and I loved watching
the deer.

I said it before, and I'll say it again, when I
come back, I wanna be someone's Fritz~!
