The above shot is from my three-day weekend visit to Madeline Island. Look at that water! Lake Superior is surely superior to any other lake. And to add to the attraction, it was actually warm enough to swim in! At least this summer, in Chequamegon bay. I visited the North Shore (Gooseberry Falls and Grand Marais, MN) a couple weeks later, and the water temp was a little numbing. But I did manage to float for a second before escaping back to agate beach to let my legs regain sensation. On the plus side, the MN visit afforded a fabulous view of the milky way and AT THE SAME TIME, a splendid light show from a storm raging over northern WI across the lake. Nature is just filled with wondrous surprises if we just go outside once in awhile.
