Tiny Ice Columns

I discovered these tiny little ice columns in a cave of sorts the other day at the ledges in Grand Ledge's Fitzgerald Park.  There was an overhang of stone that formed a very small cave.  It appears that at some point the weather was warm enough for the groundwater to seep through the stone and freeze in these columns.  You can see how small the columns are compared to the size of the oak leaves that rested on the cave floor.

White River Lighthouse

The White River Lighthouse is one of my favorite lighthouses.  It is a smaller lighthouse and has a quaint feeling to it.  It was built off of the same plan as the Eagle Harbor Lighthouse on the Keweenaw Peninsula and the McGulpin Point Lighthouse near Mackinaw City.  Two others built from this plan still exist on islands in Lake Superior - one near Isle Royale and one in the Apostle Islands chain.
