back in the mitten

Sorry if the posting has been sparse, these past few days. We were running around, getting ready for a long weekend up north. Not just the top of the Mitten, but (as my friend said) "in the squished-up-skinny-rabbit part of the state." Or, the Upper Peninsula.  Now, we are back in the Mitten proper. It was a great trip, but it is always good to be home:)



While up in Marquette, we hiked a small mountain...the payoff was fantastic views!


Lake Superior is just stunning. 



We also did a bit of wading, a bit of bouldering, to get to "Hidden Beach."


It is completely surrounded by these red, rocky cliffs... a private isle experience!



We wandered around downtown Marquette, checking out the art scene. I loved this fence made up entirely of skis!


True. Very true. 



This "tree" is fabricated. It "blooms" petunias!!


Taking shelter from a sudden rainstorm. 


We picked wild raspberries and explored behind our friend's Grandma's house.




On the way home, we stopped off at a beach to stretch our legs. Lake Michigan looked, felt, even smelled different than Superior had!


But both lakes were equally chilly! 

So, that was our trip. We had a great time, but now it's back to the routine. I'll hopefully get a Meatless Monday post up later today. Until then, hope you're having a great day, friends.
