Sunrise over Lake Michigan

It took me over a year of living half a block from the lake to get up for a sunrise. I’m not a morning person…at all. It still seems like a sad excuse giving our close proximity to what is essentially a private stretch of beach. Like many parts of the country, we’ve experienced above normal temperatures during the end of February here in southeast WI, which made a not-too-early sunrise (~6:45 a.m.) a little more appealing. Getting up for the sunrise isn’t going to become a habit anytime soon, but it is a great way to start the day.

February at the Beach

I often talk about how one of my favorite aspects of living in close proximity to Lake Michigan is seeing how different the lake looks from day to day and even hour to hour. I love lake views all year round, which is why I created the hashtag #LakeMichigan365 (check it out on Instagram!). Many people wait months for the perfect beach day with warm temperatures, sunny skies, and pristine sand. But some of my favorite beach days are days with less than perfect weather. This set of photos is from a couple weekends ago on a slightly warmer than average February day with cloudy skies, no wind, and calm waters.
