Christmas-Part 4

Ok, so this is the last of the Christmas Extravaganza '07. These are just some pictures of one of my favorite places on earth...Lake Erie; Huron, Ohio in Particular. It was great to be home and spend time with my family and friends and Bruti, but it was also just great to walk down the quiet beach and hear the water and just feel the breeze off the Lake. It was definitely a great trip, and I would have to say that I enjoyed every minute of it. So, here are a few of the sights that I got to enjoy during my time in Huron.

I was definitely excited to see this freighter coming in. We also saw one heading out, late one night. I really like seeing them at night, with all of their lights, but it's a little hard to photograph!


The Huron Pier and Lighthouse


Nickelplate Beach



I LOVE being on the beach in the summer, with lots of people around and enjoying a summer afternoon, but I think I may like this scene even more. It is absolutely still, quite, and beautiful; it's a great place to spend some time with the Lord and clear your head.

You could call your photo essay "solitude". Those are great. Too bad you weren't around yesterday or today. We're revisiting spring, but I'm sure it won't last long. I saw your reply, but it didn't help. I'm just glad that OSU didn't play Mizzou. Talk to you soon!

Hi Jessica! It's great to read about your travels and the Christmas pictures spurn a longing to return to the ice-cold, arctic, bone-numbing chill of Ohio. NOT! I am definitely a Florida convert. The weather here dropped to 40s-50s last week and I thought I would suffer frostbite! All kidding aside, it would have been nice to go to Ohio to see everyone at Christmas. It's hard to remember how long it's been! Regardless, it was great to vicariously "celebrate" Christmas through your photos. Love, Leslie

My plan was to walk around and take photos when we were there for Christmas...but it was a little too cold and snowy. Maybe next time.
