Starting to think Michigan

Here is a guy who has gone all out on a yard theme.I will check with the geology guy but I am quite sure that the only bedrock exposures in the Twin Cities area are in the river gorge. So that rock in front of the lighthouse had to be selected and hauled to this location and then arranged. It is pretty authentic looking iron rich granite as is found along the north shore of Lake Superior.

It set me to thinking about Big Red and Lake Michigan.

While standing in the exact spot from which the above photo was taken I turned towards what is referred to as Shoreview Lake and got this shot through the tiger lilies down towards the lake.It was a nice day for a ride. Lots of days in July are nice days for a ride.

Interesting the extremes people will go to to avoid mowing. Though hilly lots are hard to mow. Greenery and foliage are so dense this time of year -- and winter seems like it was just a bad dream.
