You just can’t get much more beautiful in my eyes even on a misty grey day such as this.
The shore is an easy 1 mile hike from Gooseberry Falls.
The wind was off old Gitche Gumee but it didn’t stop us from enjoying the view.
Aren’t the huge chunks of rock that have fallen amazing!
We hiked to this same spot 8 years ago and are pretty sure that at least one or two of these chunks hadn’t fallen yet. The ledge seemed much wider before.
Before clumsily falling down the stairs on Saturday, effectively taking me out of commission for several days on end, I had been planning on posting this.
I have been playing with the macro setting on my digital camera.
I thought this was a pretty cool one. The camera was less than 3 inches from the subject. The roots under our crab apple tree are sticking out of the ground and this cute little moss is growing around them.
Keep in mind this is an 8 year old digital camera…the media storage that it uses isn’t even produced anymore.
I’ve been having lots fun playing with the latest theme: Weddings
The couple in the photos are my paternal grandparents. I never knew my grandmother and have no memory of my grandfather as he died when I was under 4.
I’ve been told that I resemble my grandmother. I don’t see it in this photo but there are others that I do see myself in.
I can only enter one. Please help me decide.

This is a Mail Order Brides themed challenge in keeping with the “Women in History” month for
The Latest Trends in Mixed Media Arts Yahoo group.
This digital piece was made in Paint Shop Pro with all of my own ephemera. The woman is my Grandma, the writing are my Grandpa’s sermon notes, the kids on horses are my dad and a cousin. The newspaper is from my mom’s side as well as the house picture which was a ad for sewing notions.
Just to be clear..Grandma WAS NOT a mailorder bride…don’t want to upset any of the realtives. :)
