I will post more pix of the driftwood again in my next post, so stay tuned!<br /><br />Cathy: I think I will stay away from Lake Superior in November..BRRRR! Paul said he would like to go back in the summer so we can walk the lakeshore more in the warmth.<br /><br />Grannyann: Ha. Of course if they gave us all one piece, all of it would be gone before you know it because they get a lot of tourists there.<br /><br />Ginnymo: Thanks! It was clear, but boy was the wind cold that day! It was a lot colder than it looked in the pictures.<br /><br />Rainfield: Yes, driftwood is perfect for photography. I always take pictures of it whenever we find it at sites.<br /><br />DJan: Thanks! You will see lots of future pictures of Lake Superior in my blog, as I love the entire lakeshore and all of the lighthouses, etc. on it.
