January, A Month of Gloomy Weather

Once the big snow was over, I expected the sun to come out and stay out for a while. I was waiting for an opportunity to get some pictures of the sun glistening off the snow and ice on Lake Michigan with blue skies and the deep marine blue lake water to set off the bright white lighthouses. I wanted that picture to hang above the fireplace in the condo. So I waited.

Here's Silver Beach on January 2nd...

We came over the weekend of January 9/10 but I didn't bother to take any pictures since it was still grey and gloomy.

Here's Lake Michigan January 17th...

And on January 18th...

 

I didn't bother to take pictures the weekend of January 23/24 because it was still cloudy.

Finally, the sun came out on Saturday January 30th. According to the meteorologist on TV, it was the first time the sun had come out since that brief time the morning after the snow storm, January 2nd! Talk about a month of gloomy, grey weather! Anyway, I finally got my picture :-)

Isn't it lovely?! Just look at that lighthouse reflection on the St. Joseph River. That's what I'm talkin' about! Beautiful!

I sure hope February has more sunshine!
