A snowstorm is coming and the sun grows dim through the thickening clouds. For a little while, the light takes on a silvery tone that I love.
 > Mouth of the Temperance River, Temperance River State Park; Schroeder, Minnesota

Unlike other North Shore rivers, the Temperance only rarely has a gravel bar across its mouth. It's said that this missing "bar" is how the river got its name.

A snowstorm is coming and the sun grows dim through the thickening clouds. For a little while, the light takes on a silvery tone that I love.

The golden-amber color in the water and ice comes from tannins.

 > Rime Ice on White Cedar, Cascade River State Park; Lutsen, Minnesota

Mist from falls on the Cascade River forms rime ice on everything it touches. I thought this little branch was especially pretty.
 > Tree in Ice, Cascade River State Park; Lutsen, Minnesota

Like many North Shore rivers, ice often chokes the Cascade. Then water backs up and freezes. That's how this little tree ended up surrounded by ice. The golden-amber color in the water and ice comes from tannins.
 > Icy Falls, Cascade River, Cascade River State Park; Lutsen, Minnesota

The Cascade River drops over many waterfalls on its way to Lake Superior. This is the last, and the most photographed, of the falls. Cold winter weather changed it considerably! The golden-amber color in the water and ice comes from tannins.
