Yeti leading the way from the Kemil Beach parking lot to Kemil Beach.
The shelf ice is pretty thick along the shoreline.
There is a brisk wind but the sunshine and blue sky make this a beautiful day for a hike.
We walked along this little ravine in the frozen sand. There is always something new to see on these hikes.
Nola & Yeti prefer to hike between the sand cliff and the shelf ice.
Once again, so many interesting landscape views on the beach in winter.
I love how this mushroom-shaped ice must have formed as the water receded and narrowed the base.
The contrasts can be found all over the beach. Here we have sand, snow, ice and rocks.
The sand-covered ice collapsed along the shore...
...making for interesting pictures along the beach.
We are going to have to climb up that sand-covered ice to get onto the beach...
...or we could walk back to where it would be easier.
Yeti decided we should walk out onto the ice.
We finally decided to climb up the sand dune on Trail 10 in the Indiana Dunes State Park
It was late in the day, so we had good sunlight for a walk in the woods...
...and for taking pictures.
The dogs were really good on this hike. We also had the entire hike to ourselves. I never saw another human until we got back to the parking lot.
I did see a lot of trees just waiting for spring.
I also saw two dog asses the entire hike because I am never the lead dog.
Out of the woods and onto the marram grass-covered sand dunes near the parking lot.
This was a fun hike on a nice day in late January.
