Tuesday, 10/16


I don't know if it was the caption or the pictures, but I sure got a lot of “likes” for one certain Facebook post over the weekend.

Sunday Loraine and I strolled down to our neighborhood park to kick a few soccer balls around. As always, I brought my camera, and shot a few pictures of the changing leaves, which seem to be at their peak in Marquette right now. I threw a few of them on Facebook, along with this pithy comment--

“Sure, the temperatures may be below average for the 26th time in 27 days, and sure, it may be gloomy and about to rain for the 27th time in 27 days, but at least Marquette has colors OTHER than gray for a little while... ”

And before I knew it, I had 150 likes and 30-some shares of the post. I don't know why, but I did. I guess it's just one of those things.

So as not to deprive you guys of anything, I hereby present the pictures I posted—plus a few bonus shots—to check out for yourself. Then you can decide whether or not they were worthy of way too many likes & shares.

There was a shot of the ore dock (Which, if I had to guess, was the reason for most of the likes & shares)--



A few more taken from the Range Bank parking deck--




A bonus shot taken while walking down to Lower Harbor Park--



A few other bonus shots taken while on a bike ride--




And one final one, also taken from the Range Bank parking deck, showing something not a lot of people get to see—the Marquette Branch prison--



Like I said, I'm not quite sure why the post and/or the pictures received as much attention as they did, but they did. And now you've been able to see them (and even more) for yourself!
