“Dreaming is another form of thinking, more concrete, more economical, more visual, and often more emotional than the thoughts of the day, but a thinking through of the day, nevertheless.”
~Siri Hustvedt, author
Dreamy look….at Kitch-iti-kipi.
This soft, diffused look, that would cause one to feel as if they were dreaming, was found at Kitch-iti-kipi in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. Kitch-iti-kipi is Michigan’s largest natural freshwater spring. Kitch-iti-kipi is located about six miles northwest of Manistique, MI. The water remains at a constant 45 F./7 C. It’s name means “big cold water.” The original name was given to it by the Indians: “Mirror of Heaven”. The spring water is clear, so you are able to view fallen trees, fish and rocks in it. There is a raft ride across the spring with a glass bottom section for viewing. This trip makes a great adventure for all ages!

Thanks for visiting, and happy dreaming!

Beautiful pic of a favorite place. Between this and St. Mary’s Lake you brought back many wonderful memories tonight. Thanks.
I guess I did make your day, didn’t I?!! And the canyon later in the month brought memories too….;) Thanks for the comment and visit, Jud’!
How very beautiful! 🙂
Thank you, Zelmare!
that’s a very dreamy dreamy photo Judy.
It sure must have been a serene moment to stand there capturing the dreamy image 🙂
Amira! Hello! I’ve missed all my blogging friends while I was on the trip. I did love discovering the mist and the reflection that day! Thank you! So good to hear from you!
Love, Love this one!
Thank you, Renee! You are so sweet!
I love to see mist hovering over the surface of water. Gives your image a nice “tranquil” feel to it. Lovely shot Judy.
Thanks, Jim. I feel the same about it…very tranquil. I did love it when I turned and saw that mist! Had to have a photo or two…or ten! 😉
Beautiful scenery!
Thank you, Cee! 😉
What a dreamy photo!
I agree, Madhu! I swung around from another shot, and saw the mist had rolled in. I had to take a bundle of shots, right? 😉

That’s a great picture Judy – it’s so dreamy and would be a nice place to do some dreaming too!
Thank you, Meg! I do love the mist and reflection also. It’s a lovely little spot to begin with…the mist just adds to it!
I love anything that makes me dream and this photo is perfect for that. It’s good to know where to find it too.
Yes…it’s a lovely little spot, not hard to find, once you know the location. (and you know Michigan!) Thanks! Now get back to the sun and sand! lol
Judy
Great shot!!
Thanks, Todd!
It’s beautiful…and dreamy ! I love the fog over the water As I was looking at your photo I was thinking how I would love to edit it. It’s such a beautiful photo. Do you give me permission to save it so I can work on it ? I see it in my head how I could try to bring the beauty of this photo to another level. I would send you the photo back and delete it from my computer and I would never use it on my blog or share it on social network. It’s just for the pleasure of working on a beautiful photo 🙂 I’m sure you never thought you would receive such a request !
If you feel uncomfortable with that, please don’t hesitate to tell me, I’ll totally understand !
Absolutely…you are my friend! I have no problems letting you play! I’ve always wanted to “take a class” from you anyway. 😉 If you can tell me what you did to it, I’d love that, because I can learn from you! (I still have to take the texture tutorial from Kim Klassen…have no idea how to implement them!) Here’s my email: jjmum61@gmail.com I can send it to you through that email, please write me and let me know what size to send.
Yay ! Thank you Judy ! 🙂
Send me a smaller size like 900 X 596 px, that way it will be easier to send it by e-mail. Of course I’ll told you what I did so you can learn a thing or two on Photoshop. If you have questions on textures I’d be happy to answer them and explain how it works, just send me an e-mail at jocelyne_deneau@globetrotter.net
Dreamlike! Wonderful composition. Liked the symmetry here.
Thanks Bindu! I appreciate your comments. It’s one of my favorites too. It’s good to be back on the blog after so long and see my blog friends, like you, again! I hope you and your family are well!
Such a beautiful image of the fresh water spring with the mist creating a magical, dreamy effect. If only can wake up each day with such a wonderful scene. Have a great weekend.
Thank you, my friend. That would, indeed, be a beautiful image upon awakening! Hope you had a good weekend, also! It’s good to be back on the blog after such a long time. 😉
Beautiful picture and well organized blog.gongrats.Jacek .(maybe I should ask you for few lessons about blogging )
Thanks…but I don’t think you need help, Jace! Your blog is amazing! I had chills flying along with you as you did the parasailing and also windsurfing! Great idea to have a camera onboard! Of course I come from a family of height-challenged people, so it was exciting, but a bit scary! lol I see you have a post about swimming with dolphins. That’s on my bucket list…and doesn’t involve heights! I’ll be over! Thanks again!
Thank You very much
You’re welcome, jace. 😉
Thank you
