Lake Junkie....

So Tony (my live in boyfriend, my sweetheart, the one I accidentally slip up and call husband sometimes), tells me I am a lake junkie. :-) I thought of this as I had strolled a little too close to the water this morning, in bare feet and my good work pants, watching the water kiss my toes. Like your dog giving you morning kisses. Hello, there. Good morning. I like kisses in the morning. (Not always from the dog, her morning breath is not always pleasant as I am sure mine isn't either). I was planning on not getting my pants wet. I was planning on NOT going into the water. But I could not resist. She was calm this morning, quiet. But the sun sparkled off of her and highlighted her beauty. I am not sure why I took 3 pictures of the same lighthouse. You would think one would be enough. In any case, I take the same pictures month after month. Maybe from a different angle, maybe with a different ray of sun shining down, maybe with different weather. I eventually delete them. They get posted in here or on social media. They stay in my phone, some of them. they get used as background images or wallpaper on my phone. I skipped breakfast and coffee this morning. Well, one of the reasons was because of all of the construction in Ishpeming and on Hwy 41 but flying down Wright Street and making my way up Lakeshore to my office is always a treat. I skipped the pebble beach, it was hard but I knew I would get distracted and be late. So I headed to the lighthouse today. I don't do it every day but I do it often, head to the lake. Sometimes its for a very somber peace seeking spot where I can brew in my dreary mood. Sometimes it is to pick rocks, which I love. I need a rock bag. Sometimes it is actually to swim (no more taking the dog if I am swimming). Sometimes it is just to say hi and see how the lake looks, to take pictures. I am one of the locals that runs to the lake when there is a storm. To capture her anger, her sassy attitude, her rolling waves. Love it. Sometimes I may get a little too close. Lake junkie? Not me....


Psssh...Lake Junkie he says.... :-)
