I’m off on a little vacation; just me myself and I plus one cat. And a really big lake.
On the five hour drive north I saw a couple sights worthy of stopping, even though it was a drizzling, damp, grey, kind of nothing in particular sort of day.
Still, there was evidence that spring was marching on regardless of the dreary weather.
At the lake mist was still clinging to the hilltops above the gentle giant of a lake.
I went for my first walk along the shore, glad to be near the water, not caring what the weather would bring. And then I noticed a lightening of the air; the sun was fighting the low hanging clouds.
But looking the other way down the beach, the clouds were piling in.
The sun and clouds tussled the rest of the day, until late in the afternoon when the sun finally broke free.
I thought perhaps there would be a spectacular sunset, but now mist is moving from the horizon toward shore. There probably won’t be any sunset at all.
Which works out fine, because I don’t think I can stay awake that long anyway.

Cat? Does the Princess know about this?

Although I’m a beach lover through and through, I find myself loving that new corn picture. Something about the hope of a good crop, I guess. Thanks for these lovely photos.

I liked the symmetry of that one, plus the bright green, and yes the hope.

We have plenty of smallish lakes up here. I miss the Great Lakes. Fabulous photos.
I’ve had cats my whole life, but never one who enjoyed road trips! You must introduce your kitty some day, please!

I’m house sitting for a friend up here. The cat comes with the house. I don’t think she’s up for a road trip, but she enjoys company at her place.

She’s really just an excuse so that I can be here enjoying the peace that is life along a Great Lake.

Such beauty up there! Thanks for sharing it. Nice to take a mini-vacay every now and then (but I hope you remember to return with cookies for the princess!)

I took the Princess to the store the day before I left and let her pick out her own bag of cookies. Hopefully daddy is waiting on her hand and foot just like her mama would if she were there.

Thank you! I just woke up from a morning nap and am now considering what to do with my afternoon. The sun is almost shining so another walk might be the answer.
