It is 10 degrees today in the town where my log cabin is located. Cold, right?! So I thought I would post this photo I took of Lake Michigan this past summer. Our log cabin is located on a small quiet lake which I enjoy so much (Plus that's what we could afford!) But I do love the Great Lakes of Michigan - such beautiful bodies of water. Lake Michigan is the 3rd largest Great Lake and the sixth largest freshwater lake in the world. Its shoreline is 1,638 miles! Now that's a big shoreline!
What a nice sight on a cold, gray day. I haven't visited the Michigan shore of Lake Michigan -- we need to do that one of these days.
ReplyDeleteGood Morning Shelley, The lake is gorgeous. I love sitting beside a lake. It's just so relaxing.
ReplyDeleteWe were supposed to get 1-2 inches of snow this morning. It didn't happen. NOT a flake!!!! Am I surprised??? ha
Hugs,
Betsy
Oh, that is so gorgeous! I've never been up north and it really looks pretty. I want summer back! Of course, it has been pretty warm here in the Atlanta area.
ReplyDeleteOH Lake Michican is beautiful. I grew up in Racine and was at the lake all the time. BUT..I have a very healthy fear of that lake and all the Great Lakes..isnt Lake Superior the deadliest???
ReplyDeleteIts beautiful and I'm just now beginning to miss our warm weather. We are headed into a deep freeze for a about a week or so..bundle up!
What a beautiful picture. I have never been to Michigan....YET!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love your header...so pretty!!!
soo beautiful..
ReplyDeletei would love to come for a visit sometime..
next time i go see my family in Aurora Illinois... I'll let you know..
we used to go every 4th of July..
but then came Matthew...LOL
so beautiful!! I hope to see it in person someday.
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful blue lake, at first I thought you were in the Caribbean! Unlike our very gray Lake Erie which matches our very gray skies. Only the hardy can live in W. PA!
ReplyDeleteha ha ha! It does warm me up! Snowy, Icy, and blowy here today.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking of Lake Michigan yesterday as I passed Douglas Lake. Douglas is small, but yesterday the wind was so bad it looked like a choppy ocean. Made me think about the Great Lakes, that I am sure they often look that way.
ReplyDeleteLooks calm and beautiful in this photograph.
Thanks I needed this. It's 25 and snow on the ground here. But I have my 'award winning socks' on to keep my toes toasty! :)
ReplyDeleteHi Shelley!
ReplyDeleteIt IS beautiful! I did see Lake Michigan once. We have relatives that live in Indiana. They took us to Mount Baldy..which we climbed and saw Lake Michigan. How gorgeous it was there too!
However, you are very blessed to have your log cabin on the quiet lake as well! :)
Have a great day!
Tammy
So pretty!
ReplyDeleteLovely....warm...bright...sunny days.
ReplyDeleteThats a beautiful picture. I bet you are longing for summer!!!
ReplyDeleteWe are sunny this morning and supposed to get into the low 40's.
I'm hoping some of the snow will melt away.
The blue of the lake is so pretty. I love Lake Michigan being from Chicago. My dh and I drove from Chicago to Mackinaw Island so we've traveled all along the western and northern side but I have never traveled the eastern side of lower Michigan. I've always wanted to take the ferry across the lake from Manitowoc to Ludington. Maybe this next summer or fall.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful picture! We've gotten colder here in southwestern pa, but not as cold as you...brrrrr!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by and leaving me a nice comment on my tablecloth and coffeepot...funny thing is, I don't even drink coffee, but I love it anyways...it's great for heating up water for tea!
My goodness what a beautiful setting....how lucky you are!
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my Blog today!
Hugs, karen

ReplyDeleteI may never get there if the gas prices are as bad this summer as last. We would like to travel and pull our camper around to places like that.
ReplyDeleteThat is gorgeous, thanks for sharing...we are about 12 degrees right now :) !!
