Porcupine Mountain State Park has a series of waterfalls, created by the Presque Isle River, as it makes its way to Lake Superior.

Hello again Lake Superior
Halfway through my camping vacation, I left northern Wisconsin and drove up to Porcupine Mountain State Park, in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. As soon as the highway I was on hit the coast of Lake Superior, I stopped at the nearest picnic spot and hiked along the beach.
It was a beautiful day, with a wonderfully cool breeze coming off the lake. I felt as if the lake was welcoming me back. I hadn’t seen Lake Superior in at least six years. It was so good to be walking along its shore again.
The sky at dusk
When I was camping last week, I wasn’t on the right side of the lake for watching the sun set. But the sky still offered some beautiful scenes during that time of day.
Newport State Park
While camping in Door County a few weeks ago, I took a day trip to Newport State Park.
It was a hot day at camp, but the wind was off the lake at Newport, bringing some welcome cool air (and fog) along the shore.
Peninsula State Park
Last week I went to Wisconsin’s Door County, where I camped at Peninsula State Park. The park’s bluffs offer spectacular views of Lake Michigan.
Minnehaha Falls
When my father (Wilmer Bloy) and I were in Minneapolis last weekend, we went to Minnehaha Falls, which is in the city, along side the Mississippi River.

Sunset skyline
I believe this is the first time I’ve ever taken pictures of a sunset during the winter. I guess the lesson is, you’re not going to get good photos if you don’t get out there.
