Yesterday, we went to the lake. We keep our boat at a marina a few miles from our house. Reports of waves fifteen to twenty feet high? Worth a look, we figured.
Alone, except for a flock of seagulls thoroughly enjoying the surf.
While the waves crash crazily along the breakwall.
Ted Turner once famously referred to Lake Michigan as a 'mill pond'. After being badly beaten and enduring winds up to sixty miles per hour in the sail shredding Chicago to Mackinac Race, he publicly retracted 'anything and everything I ever said about inland sailing'.
Not, a day for boating.
Instead, we admired a fellow visitor to the lake front. She was busy eating her lunch, like it was her last. Rosie, convinced she was Bambi, wanted to know where exactly were Flower and Thumper?
While visitors of a different sort, perched in a lovely spot overlooking the bluff.
What a way to welcome October.

Oh do savor the lake air for me. If I close my eyes tightly I can hear the waves crashing on the rocky shore of Lake Superior still. Bambi is a favorite in this house as well...drip drip drop little April showers is on my ipod! Well said Miss Rosie...smiles...Renee

Wow, the pictures are great but it was really not a day for boating.
But it seems that it was still a wonderful day.

No, doesn't look like a good day for boating. But if you had been out on the boat you would have missed the deer! :-)
We experienced waves like that on Lake Superior when we were in the U.P. this summer. The great lakes are such an awesome and magnificent force. Gorgeous pictures, Molly.
Oh how I miss Lake Michigan.

Great photos as always!!
Love the deer photo...there are so many around our new area - and turkeys too (we have never seen those roaming around before.) I tried to get pics of the deer and turkeys in the field but it didn't quite happen.
Have a great Monday! xo Ashlyn
