What is it about bodies of water and cloudy skies that makes me grab my camera? I don’t know, maybe you’re the same way. I don’t necessarily have to have both of them in the same shot to get excited…
…but when I do I just about swoon.
And when the water is moving, well, that’s hard to resist too.
Waterfalls are some of our favorite things, and there are several in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Some take a little walking to find…
…but sometimes that’s a good thing.
Because sometimes the walk turns out to be more photogenic than the actual falls themselves.
Some waterfalls are easy to find, and very full of tourists on a holiday weekend.
But if you wander a bit upstream you can find more interesting angles.
So many beautiful spots up here and I’m very behind sharing with you. There’s the Quincy Mine tour we did, and the sunset on the beach, and the one over Munising Bay, and the night we attempted to capture northern lights, and the town of Ashland in Wisconsin with amazing art, and now, tonight we’re in Duluth.
I don’t know how I’m going to get caught up. Guess you’ll have to wait and see.

Beautiful photos. Wistful almost. Until I got to Santa there. Isn’t it a little early for him to be waving so enthusiastically?

He’s in the town of Christmas in front of a relatively new casino. I think he’s enthusiastic all year long.

So very much drama in those clouds, contrasting with the sense of calm that water brings, even when the water itself is not calm.
