"What's out there, Auntie? What's beyond the line where Lake Huron meets the sky?"
"Oh that's the United States; but it's a hundred miles away. Be happy you live on this side of Lake Huron, dearheart."
"Why, Auntie?"
"Because we live on the better side of truth here. We live in more light. There are too many lies being told across the lake these days, sweetheart. It's not safe there."

Sibyl and i went on a color tour into the thumb today, the color was peak and close to perfect, the Pointe Aux Barques Lighthouse was my main destination, and the clouds and sun co-operated beautifully.

Sturgeon Point Lighthouse on Lake Huron in August of 2008. Sturgeon Point Lighthouse is located five miles north of Harrisville on Lake Huron and was completed in November 1870. The tower is 70 feet, 9 inches tall and is 16 feet in diameter at its base. The light is 3.5 order Fresnel lens made in Paris, France. The light is still maintained by the U.S. Coast Guard.

The Great Lakes are glacially-scoured bedrock basins last shaped 14,000 or so year ago during the Wisconsin maximum. They are essentially big bathtubs that are oversized for their drainage basins...

Sunrise over Lake Huron, at Rogers City, MI, October 7, 2020. There had been rain overnight, and when I got to the beach I asked myself whether it was worth staying. Then the clouds started to break up, and I knew I'd made the right deision.
My wife and I went for a little 5 minute walk from our new house we just moved into yesterday. We were a little late to watch the sun going down, but still a nice sunset!

I am having a problem getting enough internet access, and time for commenting... I will get caught up eventually!
quick trip to the big city...maybe just for one day...everything depends on the driving weather. ( comments may be few...)
A windy afternoon had us setting off under blue skies to check out the Lake Huron shoreline. As the sun began to set, the sky became filled with clouds and this drama unfolded. With a windchill of minus 10 degrees celsius it wasn't easy to even stand here for a few minutes to get the shot I wanted.
This is a lighthouse on Lake Huron that was restored just recently. I took a picture of it in winter last year and then went for this shot in September. They really did a nice job of fixing it up. It was encouraging to see.
"OK, I've got the parking lot. Who's got the dumpsters and picnic tables? Also, remember, finders-keepers. No sharing with the gulls."
Thinking today about the great, Gary Larson. Thanks for all of the laughs, Gary.
It's quiet in Widgeon Cove when the summer crowd has gone. Even the few remaining locals seem to stay indoors when Fall chores are done and homes are ready for winter. The snow is not far off - you can feel the chill in your bones.
Last night of vacation here on the shore of Lake Huron, and the setting sun did not disappoint.
It takes light from the sun about 8 minutes and 20 seconds to travel through space and reach the surface of the Earth. Definitely worth the wait.
