One of My Favorite Spots, This is a small hill made out of sand, I love this spot along Lake Superior. From the parking lot you can not see what the water looks like until you walk up this little hill. I love places like this. It is like opening a door not knowing for sure what I might see, but the anticipation is exciting and the view always takes my breath away.
It is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you are going to get.

North East vs North West, I drove to the lake to catch the sunset for a change of pace. I was hoping there would be a few clouds, nothing but blue skies even as the sun dipped below the horizon. Clouds sometimes make for a better sunset photo so the sun isn’t so bright glaring into the cameras. So after the sun drops below the horizon we go back to blue hour.
This first photo is facing North East, leaving a cool view of blue and just a touch of pink in the corner.
Looking back to the North West, the sun is still leaving just a trace of color on the horizon as it leaves us for another day.
Narrowing the Field of Vision, this is a beach along Lake Superior. I have been walking this beach for many, many years. Even back when I was 6 years old with my Grandparents. My grandfather loved walking the beach and looking for gem stones, quartz rocks.
He was very crafty, he could make anything out of drift wood, or picking up just the right rocks and making jewelry for my sister and I. I have many pictures of my grandfather walking this beach with his head down looking for little treasures.
From a distance the beaches can look plain and no color at all, but when you start to look a little closer, the colors just start to pop all around you.
All of a sudden the rocks in the water start to look like gold and diamonds to me.
I barely saw this little guy as he blended in with his surroundings.
I am fascinated with the sand on this beach, from shiny rocks to tiny little pebble that are so colorful and washed over and over by the clear water creating a natural beauty that outshines everything around it.
Like the saying, A diamond in the rough, Something that is in poor condition but that is likely to become valuable with appropriate care and attention.
You may not know it at first. His hands are molding us, taking the rough exterior and shinning it to the point of Beauty that our minds could never imagine.
