A MY QUALITY TIME POST LINKED TO “OUR WORLD” & “WATERY WEDNESDAY”.. POSTING FROM MY HOMETOWN;LANCASTER,OHIO
A quality time road trip to Michigan’s Upper Peninsula where the road ends on the shore of Lake Superior.
This is an actual photo of the Garmin mounted in my car as we arrived on the shores of Lake Superior. Linda wanted to rest up.
We are in Canadian Shield country. This rocky and rugged landscape features the highest point in Michigan, Mt Avron, and many waterfalls. The waterfalls in this area are not particularly high, but many of them are quite scenic. The cabin we stayed in was about 2 miles from Mt Avron.
Today I will show you a few photos of the smaller “roadside falls.”
“A strong man and a waterfall always channel their own path.”
“Romance often begins by a splashing waterfall and ends over a leaky sink” After that thought we had better head on down the….
“Leisure is a form of silence, not noiselessness. It is the silence of contemplation such as occurs when we let our minds rest on a rosebud, a child at play, a Divine mystery, or a waterfall.”
The Waterfall A graceful ballet dancer, Leaping off the stage,Twirling amongst the audience above.A vibrant entertainer, sparkling,Waving at the crowds,Singing of joy and showering harmony. Just look below:::
GREAT LAKES WATERFALLS AND BEYOND.. If your interested in waterfalls this is a great link.
Important info: “If the water is turbulent,the mosquito larvae won’t make it to the top to suck in air.”
Next a photo from the “Picture Rocks”
A photo of Jacobs Falls::Location: Keewenaw Peninsula, on MI-26, east of Eagle River.
An easily visited roadside waterfall, that is far more interesting than it first appears. A nice stop if you are headed to or from Copper Harbor. While your “stopped” right next to the falls you will find:
Visit:: Jampot Online……………AND/OR…………………………… The Joy of Jams, Jellies, and Other Sweet Preserves: 200 Classic and Contemporary Recipes Showcasing the Fabulous Flavors of Fresh Fruits…..Probably should have stayed away from the “Rum Cake.” LOL Well it has been a long and dusty road trip.
Maybe we will get a little rain to wash the dust from the car.
No rain just the rainbow in the distance.. We will end the day and this post with a great sunset over Lake Superior.
Hope you enjoyed the visit and will stop back soon.Would really appreciate you sharing this post. Most of the quotes from Think/Exist

You have some beautiful waterfalls up your way.
And yes, the moving water is not very good for the mosquito larvae, which is so very good for us!
You have captured some wonderful fall pictures and thanks for the waterfall links
