Pictures Rocks, A Most Wondrous Scene


Pictures Rocks, A Most Wondrous Scene

© by Bud Lemire on June 17, 2007



The travelers three, Rick and I in the front, and Mina in the back seat

With air conditioner on, so we could avoid all the heat

It was a hot day, the sun was shining all about

When we reached Alger Falls, we all got out



Then to Horseshoe Falls, but we had to pay

To see a Trout Pond and the Falls, but it started a great day

We stopped at a place to have something to eat

After filling our bellies, we felt more complete



While Mina and Rick got the tickets, I walked around the pier

This was the very first time, for me being here

We climbed aboard and soon were on our way

As the Captain narrated throughout our stay



The Miners Castle, Painted Coves, and The Caves of The Bloody Chiefs

The Battleship Rock, Indian Head, Flower Vase, and the Lovers Leap

On the way back, we fed the seagulls with pretzels and bread

They flew around the boat, and dived at fingers to be fed



The Old Grand Island lighthouse was a sight to see

I took several photographs of it for Mina and me

Our cruise ended, Mina and I stopped by the Gift Shop

Then to Munising Falls, which was our next stop



We ate at the Dogpatch, lake trout for Rick and I

Mina had the chicken, as our meal time passed away

Stopped again at Alger Falls, so the photo would turn out right

Just the right angle of the sun, as I captured another beautiful sight



Upon arriving at Rapid River, Mina asked who wanted ice cream

As stuffed as I was, it would be a special ending to a great dream

I thanked them each, for the wonderful trip to Munising

And the Pictured Rocks, which was a most wondrous scene



It was indeed a wonderful day when we went.

Mina has since passed, but I won't forget that

wonderful day we went to Munising and saw the

Pictured Rocks and so much more.
