Welcome back @Maureeenie. Not sure if you missed it or not, but @Whiterose0818 is running a free give away for one of his mods, all you have to do is make a post…

Wow! Everyone, thanks for the compliments!

I was very blessed on this trip, the universe was kind to the visiting photographer :slight_smile:

The Eagle was a huge bonus. I made a lot of phone calls to find out where to see them and come to find out, they hang out on the golf courses (The majestic hunter is actually a lazy hunter who eats road kill).

We pretty much drove around Lake Michigan stopped in the Porkies, the Apostle Islands, down to the Dells and Devils Lake State Park. I was reminded of my age in a way… lets just say what I used to be able to do in a day, took me 3 days.

I took too many pictures, it’s going to take me a month to sort this out and make a good album but I did want to share these with you guys. (My vape family)

Thank you! It was pretty chilly. I don’t think it got over 70 degrees, 40’s at night. To think people kayak out there… makes me shudder. The water was 50 degrees.

Absolutely beautiful pics! It is nice to see these and be reminded that there are such wonderful and serene places like this existing in this world! Now I have an overwhelming urge to go somewhere peaceful!

That’s exactly it. There’s something that happens to me inside when I see natural wonders like Parfrey’s Glen, the wild waterfalls up there and those sandstone cliffs in the Apostle Islands. I feel like a little kid in an amusement park … I just cant stop looking at the rocks. What blows me away is the trees that plant their roots in the rocks. The power of living things to find a way to survive is almost beyond my comprehension.

Yes, it is amazing and beautiful! I have always been really partial to nature myself! I was privileged to grow up in the north central region of the Appalachian Mountains in the Alleghany Highlands region of West Virginia! This is what my view was like, this is not my pic, but this is the closest I could find to what it really looked like…

If you can take a trip to the arrowhead (far west) corner of Lake Superior you can visit many waterfalls, the Apostle Islands it’s all up in that corner where the UP of Michigan crosses the border of Wisconsin on Lake Superior. This website is a godsend for finding waterfalls.
