I took this photo a few months back on my cell phone during a winter walk.  That’s Lake Michigan.  It reminds me of one of my favorite poems.  It’s amazing that a person can write so concisely.

Smooths and burdens, endangers, hardens.
Erases, revises. Extemporizes
Vistas of lunar solitude. Builds, embellishes a mood.
