I really like the colours of the pea shingle and that waterfall looks stunning in the background of your 2nd shot.
ReplyDeleteHi Rosie:
ReplyDeleteI really don't know what you mean by the term "pea shingle". Is that Scottish for the colors of the pebbles/stones?
Our Upper Peninsula is truly an amazing place to explore, and I am a collector of those "pretty stones."
Thank you for your reply.

Gorgeous! I've never been to the UP, but of course I've had many experiences on Minnesota's North Shore along Lake Superior. Such a beautiful area. Thanks for the photos and the lovely haikus, Richard!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful area you live in. I love the picture of the rocks. The colors are beautiful. My daughter will like that one too, she loves rock.

ReplyDeleteYou and I both love our Lake Superior. We are lucky to have such a unique resource to see and experience in its many moods.
I am enjoying your writing in LoCW about your time in Europe. Good work!

ReplyDeleteI wish I could send you and your daughter all of the stones in that photo; the colors so vibrant bbecause a wave just washed over them.
This is a nice destination (Whitefish Point) with few tourists, and marvelous beach-walking opportuiities. Then you can both collect your own.

Oh to find stones like that for me to paint on. Or would that be an affront to nature?
ReplyDeleteAnn Marie:
ReplyDeleteYou can find thousands of stones along the Lake Superior shoreline; especially up on the Keweenaw Peninsula. Up there, they are mostly the same color; a deep reddish brown. Large, medium and small. So many that the weight may collapse the bridge when you return to the LP. Or you can come to my garage, and I'll give you some.
