A Trip Up the North Shore

We took a trip up the north shore of Minnesota to Grand Marais over the 4th of July weekend.  The trip up the north shore is beautiful with Lake Superior on the right and houses, businesses, and parks on the left.

We passed through so many areas of lovely wildflowers but my favorite is the lupines-which I haven't seen since we visited Maine many years ago.

 

Lupines range in color from white, to pink, to deep purple and they are all truly lovely.

 

It was close to noon when we arrived and the fog still hung over the water.

The rocky shore overlooking Lake Superior.

 

Brought this handsome guy with me and we had a great time.

 

 

The harbor is absolutely beautiful.

 

 

This photo was taken through the water and you can see how crystal clear the water is.

 

We shopped a bit and then headed back home stopping to eat at a roadside restaurant.  The weather was perfect.  The company was fantastic.  The food was great.  Absolutely a great time.
