Cave Point
This posting will document in
photos some of the interesting rock formations located only an hour north up
the beach from Gardens at Waters East
and these same rocks exist under the very grounds here at the gardens. As has been mentioned in a past “Watershed”
blog posting; this is the same
rock formation (Niagara Escarpment) that runs from Niagara Falls, up over the
top of Lake Michigan, then continues south and west out toward the state of Iowa. More information on this can be found
in an earlier posting of July 2, 2011
in the archives titled – Watershed –
Facts & Photos. If you
haven’t viewed that, it might be of interest as a foundation for the photos to
follow. There is also interesting
information and more details about the escarpment found at the following web
site from Wikipedia.

Since it has been a really hot
Summer for much of the United States and even here along the shore of Lake
Michigan, this posting will try to bring back some Winter relief to all that heat.
The whole area here along Lake Michigan is absolutely gorgeous during
the Summer. These Winter photos
are meant to help cool everyone down at this time of year and offer more views
of the watershed of Gardens at Waters East.
Do enjoy viewing what is a very
common factor of the land formations near and under Gardens at Waters East.
There is a lot of rugged beauty in this place that nurtures this
environment along the shore. So
many of the stone on the beach here at StoneWater
Beach have been “birthed” from the escarpment shown in today’s pictures.
Hope these photos
will help to cool off your Summer heat.
Enjoy
Now
- - - if you need some really “cold
shots” of Winter to cool down; go
to the archives for April 4-5, 2011. The nine part series found there will
give you more than enough snow photos from the gardens here on the shore of
Lake Michigan.

I love that Cave Point. Really interesting feature. It's funny how the dread of winter cools our thoughts during these hot and humid days. They are lovely shots. I have a feeling we'll be seeing traditional weather patterns this next year with El Niño establishing itself once again. Hope you have a good weekend.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful spot, and it is lovely to see it in the different seasons.
ReplyDeleteInteresting story and lovely pictures you made of Cave Point. You are lucky to live near such a beautiful spot.
ReplyDeleteHere we have about the first real summerday, at least no showers and the weatherforecast is great for the coming week : 25 degr. C.
Beautiful photos, we don't have anything like that here in my part of Sweden.
ReplyDeleteEverything is ok with me, but i don't have spent so much time infront of the computer as before.
Can you please send some of your summer heat to my part of the world, its to cold for me here right now.
I can send you new seeds this autum if the old ones won´t germinate at all, I hope that I will remember that.
Have a great day!
Great pictures! Good thing it has cooled down and we've finally had some rain.
