When I made my trip down to the harbor today, I was surprised to see this iceberg island covered with seagulls! I couldn't zoom as close as I wanted, but I think you can tell it's a pretty big chunk of ice! Then my thoughts went to whether the birds were some variety of Arctic tern that took a wrong "turn" and ended up on our ice island. (JK) Pretty cool, I thought.

And earlier today, I saw this website (below) of pictures of other icebergs taken this past weekend. These were taken over in the Bayfield area and are really quite beautiful. If you'd like to see more, just click on the link in the caption area.
In my quest to get my 10,000 steps every day, I went for a walk up into the fields behind our house. I should have worn boots! All the rain showers we've had lately create lots of little streams and puddles, making walking a challenge. I don't know when we'll be able to drive Cammie, our Ranger utility vehicle, up there. (Cammie - because it's camo-decorated.) Here are some pictures:
The dead-looking trees are apple trees with blossoms and buds still hidden. Hoping for a great apple year this year!
Leann put this mailbox up on our trails for people to leave notes on their walks. But right now the trails are all pretty soggy like the picture. Maybe if/when the frost finally goes out.
After my meeting tonight, I still needed 3000 more steps, so I took off up our road...into the fog...kind of a Stephen King adventure. The picture below is looking toward our house, so I just needed to head for the light...
And I got all my steps for today!
