The great Upper Peninsula

I went to the most beautiful place that I have seen in Michigan this week- Grand Marais. its a quaint little town with a population of only 400. There are no stop lights, and only one main road. It's located in the upper peninsula, along the Pictured Rocks National Shoreline on Superior Lake. Of course I brought along my camera, and although we didn;t even touch on most of the landmarks, we did get a chance to see some beautiful sites.

What's better than watching the sun set and playing in the sand with Good friends on a beautiful night? Nothin.

As soon as we got there, we took a stroll down to a pier. Apparently, at this very spot, some kids were playing on the pier during a storm or something, and got pulled in Lake Superior and drowned. Kind of scary! On this day though, it was calm and beautiful. So, I took the opportunity to pose my friends. LoL!

Flower Power

Not much to say about these. I never was really interested in nature pictures until I started experimenting. Now, every time I see a flower, I want to take pictures of it!





Yes, I really was laying on my belly in dirt to get this angle. Lol!

I randomly will be standing outside my parents house and the light will be just so that I can't help but get my camera out and starting shooting. I entered the last photo into our local newspaper website contest and I won 3rd place!
