I just returned from a walk with our dog along the Lake Superior Shore, over the dunes, and through the woods. The sunlight streaming through the trees struck me as being especially bright today. This brilliant flower waiting in my email box captures that feeling quite skillfully. My thanks again to Taka at Tech, who is becoming a regular here on the Pasty Cam.

Got some extra time this summer? Come to the Keweenaw!

What a wonderful picture! Way to go Taka! Thanks!

We are on our way to vacation in the beautiful Keeweenaw. Can't wait to get there!!!!

Iciban Hana. I wanted to write "Beautiful" -"Kiera?" Last visited those lovely islands in 1950-51, at what then was known as Kokura but now merged with a number of other cities and renamed. My Japanese is very very rusty Eh!
I don't believe that Takashi Aoki is a Yooper Finish name, even though Finland is just over the horizen from Japan> (:)}

Takasan,
Kayobi no shashinwa yoku dekimashita.
Arigatoo.

Huh?

Beautimous flower! Does anyone know what it is? Is it a UP flower or Japanese? Mimi (my girl friend) and I go for walks along the county roads here in Cornell and we have a bucket of wildflowers by the back porch. We sure are blessed up here in the UP! It's raining gently here as I type these words. :o) :-}

Just beautiful! It's set as wallpaper on my work computer. Makes me yearn for Spring.

Thank you!
