A photo of hubby snapping the big blue ice shards that jutted from Lake Huron.

We had to be careful and the windchill was numbing but we had fun that day! The whole scene looked like sugar coated rock candy.

More Lake Huron ice photos are in my gallery.

Great MT image Nancy. A bit to cold for my liking. Love the color of the ice. #1251223

Thank you, everyone, for your beautiful comments! The ice makes winter exciting. It stays for awhile, where snow melts from the trees.
