Summer Vacation

A long weekend was too short for exploring two state parks: Copper Falls State Park in Wisconsin, and Porcupine Mountains State Park in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. David took these pictures of some beautiful views.


We first hiked some trails in Copper Falls State Park, enjoyed a beautiful day, and took in the sight of the falls.



Next day we visited the Porkies and took many photos of scenic Lake of the Clouds from elevation 1,500 feet.



The view opposite the lake was just as stunning.


And back at our hotel on Lake Superior, the sunset was a show in itself. Who would have guessed that southwestern colors would paint the sky in the northwoods of Michigan?


And back at our place in Wisconsin, we were treated to a show of wildflowers featuring these black-eyed susans.
