Only in quiet waters do thing mirror themselves undistorted. Only in a quiet mind is adequate perception of the world.

Sharing the beauty of Northern Michigan.
Welcome!
I love "Up North" and have appointed myself the unofficial travel ambassador for Northern Michigan. There are so many great things to do - visit the State Parks, ski, snowmobile, view elk, see the moose of Isle Royale, hike, kayak, visit a winery, bird watch and so much more. Please join me in my travels.

Very pretty Shelley. Hope you ALL survived the weekend!!! Has Marvin "trained" Scout yet?
Thanks for your prayers.
Beautiful water lilies, Shelley... As you said in your other blog, wonder what is UNDER them??????
Hugs,
Betsy
How beautiful....though it was hard to FIND a quiet lake, this past weekend!
Hope you had a great Fourth!
I love the quote, and the pictures that accompany it are beautiful.
Oh nice... I have seen them out there but never had a chance to photograph them but even if I did, they would not come out half as nice as yours!
what's under there? maybe a large mouth bass just waiting to jump on your hook? But probably just laughing at the lure and saying "you can't fool me!" :)
They're so perfect they almost look artificial! There's a pond not to far from here covered with white and pink Lilies. Such a delight to see!
Sharon
Beautiful flower.
Patsy
Very nice photos Shelley! Maybe this week will bring quiet back to the parks and lakes...ha ha. They were packed with families and friends and the smell of hamburgers on the bar-b was everywhere!! Hope you had a good one!
Oh my, yours are beautiful too. Don't you just love them?
Namaste!
So very pretty! Great great photos
They are beautiful. Ours are just putting up their buds to the water's level...so we are a few weeks behind you guys.
Very pretty!
Beautiful quote and beautiful flower. Your photos are great Shelley. Oh, I love the music too.
Beautiful images, Shelley
