LAKE SUPERIOR

I still had a couple days to blog when we got home from our trip - but life at home is not conducive to blogging, so I am slow getting to it.  I have had a couple of requests to see the rest of the trip - so I will try and finish.


Saturday with Mom and Dad (October 16th) we went a trip to see Lake Superior and the Painted Cliffs National Monument.  They live close to Lake Michigan; it is a gray, dark lake.  Lake Superior is north of them and is one of those green lakes that are so pretty.  

You can see where the lake turns to the pretty blue-green  after the shore

These photos do not show the multiple colors that are layered along the cliffs very well, but that is the painted part of 'Painted Cliff' Lakeshore

A bald eagle resting on a tree visible from the over look.  There are several pairs that nest along the coast right there apparently.  

A close up view of the rock and its layers, but not much color here.
