“The foreman was a short, iron-jawed man. He had once made a trip as far as Duluth. Duluth was far across the blue waters of the lake in the hills of Minnesota. A wonderful thing had happened to him there.”
— Ernest Hemingway
A wonderful thing happened to us too: road trip nirvana. Duluth is enticingly different from the rest of Minnesota. You'll see ancient lava flows wallpapering the hillside; mossy forests with miles of trails; (perfectly suited for a family of vampires) pebble beaches littered with agates and driftwood; wild rivers swirling with leaves, and a great lake that always sits just beyond your peripheral vision. (depending on your trajectory)
Follow my feet...
Do you see the dragonfly helicoptering over the crow? There were thousands.
Park Point.
My husband took some surprise photos!
Enger tower shadows.
In the distance, you'll see the longest sand spit in the world.
The iconic lift bridge.
Monarchs feasting in dazzling sunlight.

It looks like you had a beautiful day to wander. Sell these shots to the city for post cards :)
Incredible shots, as usual. And I didn't see that dragonfly until you pointed it out. Jaw dropping stuff here, Sharon! :-)
Love the candid photos of you!
Lovely photos, but the second one is my favourite! :D Thanks for showing me another part of the US that I haven't been to and for hosting. :)
a beautiful place and post
Lovely photos and mosaic. Have a nice week
Much💝love
Love finding those unusual captures and enjoy seeing yours. Glad to see a butterfly as I actually haven't seen any in my flowers this Summer. Hoping some will stop by in the Fall. Have a great week.
Wow...certainly diversified landscapes. All beautiful in their own way. Great photo series Sharon.
Thanks for taking time from your day to link in & share with us at IRBB this week!
Sharon - I still have good friends who live in Minnesota since I went to grad school at the University of Minnesota. So nice to see these scenes of Duluth, and the surprise shots of the person behind the always stunning pictures. Thanks for sharing your road trip with everyone at Mosaic Monday!
What a great place! Thanks for sharing! And thanks for hosting a party :)
Have a nice day!
Wonderful pictures of a great area. Thank you for the tour.
The monarch is so beautiful.
I love your pictures.
Oh nice and fun memories for us. We stayed (RV) a few days in Duluth, kinda’ by accident . Bills sister and BIL had recently been transferred to Bemedji and we decided to detour from wherever we were to visit them ... didnt really plan anything ...and we found some of what you show in Duluth... And so we stayed there longer than we’d thought we would. (Family knew we were coming but didn’t know how long it would take us to get there.) Sometimes the things you remember best are the things you discover by chance.
Awesome photos! I love the one with the driftwood a lot!
How great to see you at 'My Corner of the World' this week!! Thanks for linking.
I've never been to Duluth, but it looks beautiful. Love your driftwood photos!
beautiful sandy beach and lovely scenery....
