Lake Superior

So, now I've actually waded in two of the five Great Lakes. Having grown up in Florida, they're just too cold for me. Cold or not, though, they're still spectacular! See for yourself!

Here's a church-looking lighthouse on Lake Superior, just outside Munising.

Here are the Pictured Rocks from a distance. Just look at how blue the water is! Gorgeous!

After our cruise, Mike and I drove into the park to see Lake Superior from a different perspective. Here is Mike, with Lake Superior in the background, from a point very close to the Miner's Castle rock formation.

I'm having a good hair day, but man, that sun is so bright, I can hardly see!

Proof that we did indeed step into Lake Superior. BRRRR!!!!

"Awwww, honey, I'm so glad you suggested this UP trip!" :-)

The world's tiniest pine cones, found on Lake Superior's shore.

Lake Superior Evening Cruise

Here are some photos from the Keweenaw cruise we took over Labor Day weekend (see earlier posts for some more description of our trip to Michigan's Upper Peninsula).

Here's a lighthouse just at the end of the Portage River, when it opens out to Lake Superior.

Here are some houses along the lakeshore.

Sunsets are gorgeous, no matter which body of water, no?

I just kept taking more and more photos, since I thought the scenery was so beautiful!

Sometimes Mike doesn't like his photo taken, and this one didn't seem to bother him.

Now we've returned to Houghton, after our wonderful 2-1/2 hour cruise. I hope you enjoyed seeing a bit of it!
