Made myself get dressed and outside this afternoon and took a few snaps of the bay about two blocks from our home. Still trying to figure out my new FujiFilm camera...

The sky was a deep gray cobalt blue and it was blustery and brisk, but it felt so good to get outside! I can't believe that the bay is still wide open-definitely not the "norm" for our part of the country.

Melody, That is so pretty. Makes me want to dig out my watercolors!! I think you are doing a very fine job with your new camera. Keep the photos coming. Your part of the country looks so different than ours.

Wonderful pics, Melody! Makes me miss the north so much! Had a real craving to see Copper Bay, MI over the holidays. Haven't been there in awhile.

Thank you ladies for the fine compliments on my amateur photography. I would love to be able to capture "true" Northern Michigan colors in mid-winter-Hard to do when you don't know what you are doing!

Judith, I haven't been to Copper Harbor in eons. Honeymooned there 20 years ago....Beautiful, wild and rugged that's our Great North Woods!
