Lingering thoughts from the glorious, snowless, time up on the north shore…
Sparkles, like dazzling diamonds, are twinkling in a wide swath on the waters of Lake Superior, reflecting the sun. It is one precious view that money can’t buy.
The white foam waves clap against the rocky shoreline, producing a lovely sound and creating dancing droplets in the air. The blue water mirrors the blue sky and the temperatures are above normal for October.
Gold leaves, like coins, carpet the hiking trail that leads up the Minnesota mountain through leafless trees to the top. Once on top the views are stunning. The yellow birches and dark evergreens create the gorgeous contrast for this time of year.
All along the shore, there are only a few maple trees with colors of red and orange but it is the yellow leaves mixed with the evergreens that create the new and different pattern for us along the shore of Lake Superior.
This wondrous place always takes my breath away and is always hard to describe…my soul feels at home in this holy place and I’m so grateful to be in the moments that pass too quickly up here on the north shore… a reflection of God’s glory.
I often try to describe how spectacular it is through words and photos but they do not do it justice. But then, who can describe the Lord?
Exodus 15:11 Who among the gods is like you, Lord? Who is like you – majestic in holiness, awesome in glory, working wonders?
Thank you Valerie for that beautiful visit to the North Shore this morning. It’s definitely my happy place. You even caught a bird in your calm water photo 🤗😍
You’re welcome Lori. Glad I could take you to (y)our happy place. 😉
Lovely articulate and poetic description of a truly magical space in our world.

I loved seeing your photos and hearing your thoughts on my favorite place in the whole world! You are right, it is a gift from God that money cannot buy. The truly amazing gifts are those that come from above! I loved “twinkle twinkle”!
Thank you Starr.
