While hiking along Lake Superior near Copper Harbor, the thimble berries were in bloom.
Ben and I stopped to pick them along the way.

The leaf of the thimble berry plant is quite distinctive...

...as is the berry, so mistakes in identifying them...

...are rarely made...just kidding! They were delicious!

A friend in Copper Harbor directed our hike to an area nearby that had petroglyphs (carving on stones). The authenticity and dating of some of these is still in question, but one of them (the ship) is now protected under glass.

This house petroglyph looked rather recent

This ship may tell the tale of the copper trade through this area over a three thousand years ago

ReplyDeleteI've seen the bear, and the boat, but never the bird and the sun.
ReplyDeleteThe bird is very similar to the petroglyph on Stroughbury Island in Lake Michigan neat Rapid River. Thankfully etched much deeper in a giant pink granite boulder on the north side of the island.
