One of my favorite winter views of the lakefront, I’ve always thought it had kind of a “Narnia” feel to it. #nature #frozen #winter #shoreline #narnia #fantasy #water #naturephotography #moodblue #blueskyartshow #lakemichigan #greatlakes @lakemichigan13.bsky.social @greatlakeslady.bsky.social

Shades of pear-like translucent pink on a Burning Bush, as leaves fall in the first snow. #nature #fallcolor #pink #burningbudh #photography #spellbound
