APOSTLE ISLANDS~
VACATION ~
A period of time devoted to pleasure, rest, or relaxation
Over @ Written Inc, Carmi has chosen the topic of VACATION for this weeks photo challenge.
Memorial Day week-end and the week to follow, hubby and I took a trip up Nort to the Lake Superior region, to the Apostle Islands. Yes, while it was in the high 80's and low 90's at home, we were the refreshing temperatures of anywhere between 34° and 65°.
The Apostle Islands are made up of 21 island off the coast of Bayfield, Wisconsin.
On several islands, lighthouses and residences (pictured above and below : Devil's Island) have been restored. Most are places for sightseer's. Madeline Island is the only island that is inhabited.

The morning we took our ferry tour, Superior Lake temperature was a billowy 38°.
The sea caves are a popular place of discovery in the summer time.

We also visited a couple of State Parks.
Amnicon Falls
Copper Falls
AND ... Saw some breathtaking sunsets
It's always nice to get away ... AND it's always nice to come home!

That blue lake is stunning. Very nice choices.
Awesome pictures, I love that covered bridge.
Great pictures to match the Great Lake. This is a place I would love to visit. I've only been to the shores of Lake Michigan.
That looks my sort of place! Great shots!

Now I know why they call them Great Lakes. These are beyond stunning...I think I need to see Wisconsin up close someday soon!
