A Stormy Day at the Beach

Stormy Beach Early May 2017 | https://www.roseclearfield.com

It’s not a secret that I love the not so perfect days at the beach just as much (maybe even more?) than the perfect days at the beach. Through April and into the first part of May, we’ve had quite a bit of rain. The trick is capturing the sky while it’s stormy without getting poured on. I’m still hoping to see another rainbow on one of these intermittent rainy days. But I did see it raining over the water, which is always neat. I’m sure those of you who live in rural areas and see active rain clouds in the distance all the time find that funny. But for a city girl, it’s still something of a novelty.

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.
