Drove along the lakefront on Lake Drive in Milwaukee yesterday around 4pm. The sun was shining and it was very beautiful. Turquoise water with ducks & ice floating in it, wind sculped snow. Shadows cast by the snow fences and tall weeds. Knarley trees. People were walking their dogs and sledding down North Point Tower Hill. There are places to park and still get a decent scene to paint.
