Icy Lighthouse at Sunset

To the lighthouse

A Day at the Beach

Lucy and her family kindly invited me to join them at the cottage they were renting on Indiana shores of Lake Michigan.  We had a great time playing in the tall grass, skipping stones and dipping our toes in the cool lake water. Click on an image to enlarge.
