Today's shot is somewhere in the U.P. I can hear you all moaning right now, thinking, "no kidding, Mary!" It's not really a waterfall or maybe it could be classified as one, but since it only flows like this during the Springtime or after a good heavy rainfall, it wouldn't make the list of the most visited in the North Country. Steve Haagen found this little gem, gushing into Lake Superior on a recent drive to check out how their property, along with a camper, made it through the winter. This one had me stumped as to where it was taken, with my guess way off. Let's see how well the Pasty Cam viewers know their geography of the area. Where in the U.P. is Steve Haagen?

Looking at the Lake in the background,guessing somewhere near Marquette.No matter,it is water amd not snow!!!!
We are 40'warmer than in Hancock today.Miss the view,not the temps!!!!

G'morning all
Beautiful lake picture! Thanks!!
Best wishes,
Renee

Somewhere on Presque Isle?

I don't know where it is but it is the wrong kind of rock for Presque Isle.

Look at that blue water!

OK, i'll admit this is strictly a SWAG - but out toward Freda & Redridge?

Out along the Gay road near Brunette Park? The rock formation does look familiar.

looks to me to be near that little park along the east shore of the keweenaw between Gay and Bete Gris

Definitely on the Little Betsy side of Brunette Park! I love that red sandstone!

My guess is between Presque Isle and the Huron Mountain Club Property in Marquette Co.

WOW!!

Light frost on the barn roof and the bunnies in my wife's garden are starting to venture forth. Little brown balls of fluff peeking at you from under the daffodils.

I'm thinking that Steve is a little north of south entry. (And good morning everyone!)

Look at Steve's album number 5. The photo of the church in Phoenix is a double wow.

WHAT A SHOT! AWESOME!

SWAG? A drape pulled away from a window?

wonderful picture no matter where it is

maijaMI-
Actually this is an accounting term which means:
SILLY WILD A** GUESS

Yes, i know, us accountants are weird!

Oh, to be putting my tootsies in that cold, cold water. *sigh* Beautiful picture!

My Guess was Huron Mt. Club area... looks like molten rock I walk on where the road ends next to the Marina in Big Bay.... I agree with others around Marquette/Huron Mt. Club area/Lake area along 550 to Big Bay.... I've walked on similar looking rock in all these areas... Thanks Steve for FABULOUS picture!!!

Actually looks to me like there's some of the Jacobsville red sandstone underneath the water there, so my guess is up around Big Betsy/Gay on the eastern side of the Keweenaw. Been out there to the 'beach' a few times - great place to wade around.

Steve, Nice photo album.

My guess is Big Bay. I have many photos of the B.B. shoreline and they resemble the photo above.

Not sure where taken but beautifull all the same. I can taste the purest air on earth right now!

Lovely picture. Being a "troll" who lives under the bridge, I have no clue where this was taken, but it is an awesome sight, just the same. Am counting the days until my vacation to the Keewenaw this summer!

seems like the weather is getting warmer, has anyone in pasty land heard if the steelhead are running yet?

Lots and lots of these little "waterfalls" in the Pictured Rocks region around Munising/Grand Marais.

Just for fun trying laying underneath one of these.... BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRrr.

Good morning!
This picture is so beautiful! I see it as a reminder to take time today -- to go out and 'see' one beautiful fleeting thing! Each of us has something we could take note of and enjoy that will be gone to the next season in a few days or weeks. For me it's the view of NYC as I drive over the little mountain we live behind. Soon the leaves will be out and that everchanging skyline will be hiding behind the leaves. Then, the wild Dogwoods will be in bloom all through the woods here...
How wonderful that these falls are there to 'show off' for those who take the time to notice.

Steve, You have a great album! Thanks for sharing your photos.

The light sandstone is lying over the red Jacobsville sandstone and may well be some of the Munising formation sandstone of the Pictured rocks so I will bet that it is somewhere between Munising and Marquette?

Steve, your pictures are just beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

Steves photo album info:
Eagle River, WI / Gay, MI
Owner: Steve Haagen

If Steve was coming from E.R. Wisconsin to Gay, MI then it has to be some place in between. That would rule out Munising, Mqt & Big Bay.

my first guess was jacobsville out by the lighthouse but if he wasn't in that region i would say by pictured rocks in munising

Could it be the Misery Bay area? Just a wild guess. Great Photo where ever it is:)

I still say it is near Brunette Park.

Julia, mi. I spend my summers out in Jacobsville and use the sandstone in my driftwood and stone art (www.stixnstonzart.com). By far, the majority of the sandstone by South entry and up the bay is the deep red, very little white. So, I highly doubt it's from the Jacobsville area. What fun this is but when can we cry "give" and get the answer!!!!

Mary says: I was just thinking the same thing, Stix, I wonder how long I should let the guessing continue?!! Well, since I have a few more pressing things to do right now, then it will have to be a bit later this afternoon! Isn't the suspense just eating away at you? :->

In the Bay Furnace Park they have some of this kind of rock.
No matter where it is, the picure is just great.

Oliver bay, south of Point Isabelle

For all of you that still haven't gotten anything for your Mom for Mother's Day, don't forget to check out Pasty Softwear. We have Lake Superior Bird Houses, Copper Watches and New Scenic Mugs that will make a wonderful gift for your Mom. Here's the Gift Nook link.

What a great way to advertise the birdhouses!! Great background.

I have taken many photos of this "mini falls". I've called it Red Rock Falls based on all the red rock in the area. If I am correct, it's several miles north of Gay on the north side of a park.

As birdhouses go, different birds need different constructions, so make sure to get one suitable for the birds you got - if available. More important, don't forget to clean them out once a year - just like cleaning your own bedsheets once in a while.

THE PICTURELOOKS LIKE THE MONTREAL RIVER WHERE IT ENTERS LAKE SUPERIOR ON THE SOUTH SHORE JUST DOWN FROM THE POINT YOU CAN SEE IT FROM ACROSS THE BAY ON THE LITTE BETSY ROAD I HOPE IM CORRECT.

Daryl:
I love those bird houses... may just need to get one for our yard... Are they weather-proof?

Oh, come on........put us out of our misery and TELL us where the pic is from!!!! I give!

Sorry about the delay in revealing the location, but the day just seemed to get away from me too quickly....
Carole, who posted #6, after my post this morning, was the first correct answer so she's been given the A+ award for being so smart! It was taken at Brunette Park on the Gay-Lac la Belle Road northeast of Gay.
I, like a number of other guesses, first thought Pictured Rocks area in Munising! :->

Of course the bird houses are weather proof and the bottom comes off for cleaning. You may securely order them on our site or call toll free to place an order 1-800-327-0966 M-F 9 to 5pm. I'll get back to you all later about where the photo was taken. Thanks for asking.

That's the place I was talking about. Didn't know the name of it though. Just walked the beach there a few times, and climbed around on the rocks in the photo while looking for blueberries. Have a couple of small sandstone rocks sitting here on my desk from that very place.

I think this picture is just north of Jacobsville.

Are the gifts available at Still Waters? I will be up the first of June and would like to see some of the items.

Just want to toss out a plug for the bird houses. I ordered one for my wife a couple weeks back and currently have it stashed at the office till next weekend. I took a look at it when it arrived and it's great. I have no doubts that she will be thrilled with it.

Thank you for all of the wonderful comments on my picture and gallery.

Im from LAnse Michigan, and just in the last few days I heard that my step brother Michael Hamm died in a car wreck? Can someone find me the obituary? thank you JON SELDEN....
