When I saw this week’s photo challenge, my first thought was, “I should have delayed my last post, because that photo perfectly evoked feelings of home for me.” So, please indulge me as I share with you another scene from that peaceful, sunny morning. After living near its shores for over 20 years, Lake Superior means “home” to me.

Nice! I haven’t seen Lake Superior from your side. It has a siren song for my wife, who would spend all her days in Michigan’s upper peninsula if it was entirely up to her…

This photo is beautiful. Love the way the sun is shining and reflecting and that bench… As you know, Lake Superior means “home” to me, too.

I feel we “superiorites” are kindred spirits, all along her shores!

Even in the icy cold, you have made that bench in the sun look so inviting. The sense of Home comes through clearly. Greetings from Maryland!

Yes, but in my area (DC), scenes like this are rare. Mostly, it’s cold and grey, and rainy–for months. By early-February, I going crazy for some sunshine and the gardening season. Where did you take this picture?

It is along Lake Superior’s shore near Duluth, Minnesota. The long gray days get to me after awhile, too — we still have plenty of those, which makes the sunny ones so precious!
