Studying the Shallows

The swimming has been excellent the past few weeks. Ther water warmed up once again to the high 60s in Copper Harbor in August. Even on open Lake Superior, the water has been very, very nice. I went swimming a few times with my boys and my wife Marsha, both in the Harbor and on the open Lake. This is a shot of Andrew, my 11 year old, looking for agates and other pretty stones in the waters along ther Hunters Point shoreline, which is the newly protected park on the north side of Copper Harbor, a favorite beach for many down the years. This vast Lake stretches about 90 miles in the direction I am facing as I took this shot, about north-northeast.
