• Monday-What'sUP August 2 - 08:24 am

Our "Legends of the Pasty Cam" feature continues with the month of August photo, by Brita Haapala, from our 2011 Pasty Cam Calendar. Throughout the Pasty Cam years, Brita has shared innumerable photographs with us, as we watch her children play and explore. She has a special knack for transporting us to the beauty of the U.P., through the eyes of a child. We've enjoyed watching her children grow up throughout these years, taking us back to our own childhood memories.

With 2011 half over now, you're probably not thinking about buying a calendar anymore, but think again. The 2011 "Legends of the Pasty Cam" Calendar is so much more than just a place to mark your appointments or see what the date is. With your purchase of this photographic wonder, you'll also receive twelve beautiful shots from around the U.P., that are suitable for framing. Now where else can you buy that many quality photos for $6.00? Hurry and order yours today.

I saw this same photo last night when I changed my calendar over to August. Good grief....August already. Summer's nearly over:( Oh well, I guess that just means that we're one week closer to being there.

Brita, yet another super photo! Such fun! Thanks so much!

Very creative photo.

The light just came to the youngster in the middle, "I should be jumping, too!"

Thank you for posting this picture, Mary. It was one of those one time shots. A magical evening at the beach, and the weather was much like today. Just perfect. This evening, we have plans to head to Great Sand Bay. Maybe I'll try for another shot like this. :) I have taken my photography a step further into doing it as a business. Here's the link, if anyone is interested. www.britacarolinephotography.com You can also get to my blog from there.

For some reason, that link didn't work. I'll try again.

Beautiful indeed!!!

I thought he was blowing a flame causing the others to jump.

Beautiful pictures in your gallery, Brita!! Also, a great picture to start the day.

Excellent photo!

Beautiful photo.....how 'bout that diamond-shaped sun? ;>

In loving memory of my son, Edward Allen, who would
have been 30 years old yesterday. My heart aches for
my little angel. One day, I'll be holding you in my
arms again.I know you are being very well cared for
by Our Lord.

You can never post too many of Brita's pictures. She has a great blog site. I love this photo!

We're having a good ole' time in the Keweenaw as well. Actually writing from Mariner North using one of the PastyNet hotspots and it works beautifully (thanks Charlie!!!). We've already been spotted by Nate and Hillary Alwine today at Great Sand Bay; I wonder who will recognise us next???? ;-)

Fantastic Capt...the weather UP there looks great too, judging from Sharon Smith's website.

A belated happy birthday to Sharon Smith. Read your journal everyday and love it.

Capt. thought I saw you in a Wendy's restraunt recently. People looked like you and the Doc.

What an absolutely fantastic picture! Thanks to Brita and Mary!

And my heart aches for you, Laure. Deepest condolences! And you're right, our Lord is enjoying Edward Allen right now!
