We've had some really warm November days lately and folks have been taking advantage of them by heading to the shores of Lake Superior. Krista Poirier took her boys and a friend to Bucky's, also known as Calumet Waterworks Park, to enjoy the rare beach weather.

The boys had fun with the usual beach activities, minus the swimming part, as it wasn't quite warm enough for that. They had rock skipping contests, looked for interesting rocks and even did some treasure hunting with a metal detector.

While the boys were busy being boys, Krista was looking for interesting photos to snap and found several other visitors to the shoreline. An Asian Ladybug and a Daddy Long Leg spider. Those two insects prove how warm it was that day, as otherwise they'd already be finding their way to shelter for the winter, most likely someone's basement or house.

Not bad for November! Thanks for the great pictures Krista!

Enjoyed all the bird pictures in the review, including Pretty Bird.

Looks like the boys are having a grand time on the beach. It could be a long time before they get to enjoy the beach again. Great pictures of youngsters having fun.
It is now time.......Will the real Donald Trump please stand up.

Sure miss Bucky's . . . many nice memories made there.

What a great adventure for the youngins and I like the creepy-crawly close-ups.

Nice pic's!!

Wishing I was in the Soo or Whitefish tomorrow to watch the Freighter's and remember the pride of the Fleet!!

I remember those daddy long legs when I was a kid.

The boys playing on the beach of Lake Superior
reminds me of camping on the shores of the big
lake with a friend of mind,Jim Ziemnick. I want to
wish Jim, a former Marine, happy birthday, to the
Marines (245th). Jim served our country 2 tours of
duty in VietNam in the 60's and I couldn't be more
proud of him. When he came home my mother said
don't get drunk. I said "Jim just got home from
the war. We'll be ok." Happy 245th Jim!

Happy Birthday to the Marines out there who served
our country! A shout out to Jim Ziemnick who
served 2 tours of duty in Vietnam. He served
honorably. When he came back I went out with him
to celebrate and mother said "Don't drink too
much". I said "Mom he just came home from the war
. We'll watch it". Happy 245th Marine bithday ,
Jim.

Amen UC; and here's to Eddy Fitz.

So amazing to be walking the beaches in November
and not seeing any snow. It's been such a warm
fall here in Minnesota, also. I know I'm enjoying
it!
