Once you visit one lighthouse, you want to visit another. They are charming.<br /><br />Jientje: Thanks so much. The autumn colors here are really spectacular, I agree!<br /><br />Cathy: Another lighthouse near you? It is a DATE! I love them.<br /><br />New England: It was a romantic place. Great place to hold hands and walk the beach for sure. Which is what we did. ha<br /><br />Shelley: It is a DATE! Remind me in July and I will make SURE to reserve time just to meet you. Hopefully we can meet once before that too if I can get a Yooper Blogger meeting organized for spring!<br /><br />Loree: Thanks! We loved the lighthouse too.<br /><br />DVM's Wife: Thanks so much. I had such fun on that trip capturing it all on camera!<br /><br />Ratty: You have to come up to Lake Superior then, it is full of real lighthouses you can visit.<br /><br />SquirrelQueen: you are welcome..I was thrilled to be able to climb it to the top to take the photos, too.<br /><br />Jientje: Blogger was having trouble all day yesterday and the day before and would not allow me to moderate any of the comments I had...it didn't get fixed until tonight.

I may do a calender, I have been having readers ask me to make some from my pictures.<br /><br />Brian: This summer and fall I have visited or seen more Lake Superior lighthouses then ever before and I have lived here a great deal of my life...I will be posting another one soon because when we left this one we drove to another one nearby. Glad you like them!<br /><br />Ashley: Oh, you have been there! It is so nice to talk to someone else who has experienced it too. Isn't it just the best, secluded spot?<br /><br />Alan: Great idea! I will try to include maps whenever I can in future posts so you can call the links up. That really helps me with other's blogs too.<br /><br />Wanda: I didn't notice the face in the driftwood until you mentioned it, thanks!<br /><br />DJan: you are welcome..yes Lake Superior has many rocky shorelines, but it also has many, many spots with beautiful sands or fine, fine pebbles. I will be posting another really pretty lighthouse and beach not far from Crisp Point where we went next (in a few days) so watch for that post, too, I think you will like it.<br /><br />Lynn: Thanks! I loved taking them and being there to take them.<br /><br />Brittany: How nice to hear from you! I was hoping you were still reading my blog. Glad you liked the pix.<br /><br />Grannyann: Wow, what a nice compliment!! I WISH!!!! I keep practicing and hopefully will get good enough to sell some of my photos or make calendars and sell them...I am looking into a few ideas, but thanks so much! You give me such hope!<br /><br />Rainfield: Thanks so much!<br /><br />Ginnymo: You can always put the driftwood in your garden somewhere..I have several pieces strewn throughout my garden and they work great there. Hate to hear about it hiding away in your closet. :-}<br /><br />L.D.: I don't think I could've climbed stairs on the outside of a lighthouse, either. I am afraid of heights, but trying to conquer it. ha<br /><br />Anonymous: I haven't been to any down by Manistique yet, so thanks for that tip, maybe I will go next year...and I live close to Marquette, so maybe I can go up to Big Bay during this color season yet.

The last I knew it was only certain days of the week, but definitely worth it.<br />Also, the Au Sable light near Grand Marais is climbable for a fee. It's staffed by the National Parks. It's quite a hike to get to it, but the view is amazing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3803801517332763895.post-85507168030187985882009-10-05T19:59:40.847-04:002009-10-05T19:59:40.847-04:00That is a beautiful shore line for Lake Superior. ...That is a beautiful shore line for Lake Superior. Usually they are very rocky. The color of the water is a beautiful blue. The second photo makes me jealous, it is a great shot. That little light house is a very nice one. I went up into Split Rock a few years back. It was steps all around the outside of the tower. It was open metal steps and a lot scary.L.
