Fishing is one of the outdoor activities some people will be enjoying this holiday weekend, especially on a nice early autumn day. While a lot of Lake Superior fishing is done from boats, there is some fishing from shore too.

As the summer vacations will begin to wind down soon, there are some person visiting parks and the lakes on a nice Sunday summer day.

Today was a nice summer day with blue skies and enough wind to keep the bugs away. And a hike along the shore of Lake Superior by the sea caves would be a great Sunday adventure.

Enjoying a sunset over the lake is a nice way to end the day on a weekend outing.

While the dogs were enjoying the water while playing fetch, I waded into the water looking for that perfect “pretty” rock. The rocks look more colorful when wet but sometimes when I reached into the water for a rock, a wave moved it before I could grab it. And the rock may never been seen again by me.

While some dogs don’t enjoy water, especially baths, other dogs love the water and a dip in Lake Superior is a refreshing way to cool off on a summer day while playing fetch. I just don’t want to be near a long haired dog when it shakes the water from its fur.

On open water, you can see storms off in a distance as well as the ones about ready to rain on your head. The sun rays are poking through around the individual thunderheads.

The smoke from the Canadian fires was less today so it made a better day for outside hikes on a summer weekend. Miners Castle is a landmark along the Pictured Rocks shoreline but instead of two turrets that gave its castle name, only one remains as the northeast turret collapsed in 2006.

This evening the beacon will be burning bright in the Split Rock Lighthouse lantern room to celebrate the first time the third order Fresnel was lit back on July 31, 1910. Normally the retired lighthouse beacon is not lit so it is a treat when it shines across the water and maybe one year I can be there in person to view.
Since there were no roads in the area at the time of construction, all the building materials and supplies arrived by water and hoisted to the top of the 130 foot cliff but Split Rock Lighthouse became such a tourist attraction so a road was built to it in 1924.

After a windy storm, the waters around sandy bottoms often turn a brown color from all the sediment stirred up.
