It always pays to check the northern lights forecast when you are out and about in northern locations. I checked the apps and to my surprise it said it was a predicted KP7 and they were observing a KP7. The higher the KP the better. My husband and I jumped up from our campfire and looked to the north. We didn't see much and thought it was a glitch, so we went back to the campfire. Less than an hour later the skies exploded! You could see the northern lights above your head, to the east and west AND to the south. It was simply amazing. The sky danced with greens and we were just in awe. I couldn't believe how well you could see the lights with the full moon. This is one of the many shots I took that night or rather very early morning. I can't pick a favorite so bear with me as I will share more. This shot is looking to the south-southwest.
Chapel Rock is found on the shore of Lake Superior in the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. It is a very cool rock formation that has a beautiful tree on it whose roots traverse air to get to the shore to survive.
Slate River Falls on the you guessed it; Slate River is one of my favorite Michigan waterfalls. It is also the hardest or rather most adventurous waterfalls to get to in my option in Michigan. You have two options; brave the 150 foot steep hill or walk up the river bed itself. We opted for the river and although it was cold, it was well worth the adventure and sights. Each bend in the river seemed to have different types, colors and textures of stones.
