Surrounding ourselves with amusements

---------------------

Here it is, almost tax day, and there is STILL ice on the lake!  Today's photographs show some of the progress Spring is making in the AuTrain area.

During my daily two mile walk, I snapped this photograph of Joel Creek pouring into Au Train Lake.  Today was the first day of major spring thaw action at Joel Creek.

 

Even in the middle of the winter, there is almost always a small unfrozen area near the Crow's Nest Cottage.  In this photo, you can see where the open water area is widening. East shore of AuTrain Lake near Crow's Nest Cottage

The AuTrain River enters AuTrain Lake at the south end of the lake and exits at the northeast corner of the lake.  This photo shows the ice retreating. 

There are still some large chunks of ice on the shore of AuTrain Bay, Lake Superior.  This photo was taken at the AuTrain Scenic View, where the AuTrain River empties into Lake Superior. AuTrain Bay, Lake Superior

Surrounding ourselves with amusements tranquilizes us, wrecking not only democracy and spirit but even deep pleasure itself.
