Hi Rusty...lil Teak
This is our Furend RUSTY.
We all think he is a very cool looking guy. Teak likes his white stripe side stripe 'cause he has one too! Rusty lives in Michigan.....here are some of the most beautiful photos you have ever seen. http://www-personal.umich.edu/~jensenl/visuals/album/michigan/

The State of Michigan is a state blessed with the riches of unspoiled nature: the world's longest freshwater coastline, lakes that feel like oceans, shimmering beaches, miles and miles of cherry orchards, glorious sunrises and sunsets, daytime skies of the deepest blue, nighttime skies scattered with stars.

Home to more than 100 public beaches, some of the highest freshwater sand dunes in the world, stunning multi-colored sandstone cliffs, two National Lakeshores and the only national marine sanctuary in the Great Lakes--the Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary in Lake Huron. More than 100 lighthouses, numerous maritime museums, ten shipwreck-diving preserves and historic military fortifications rim Michigan's Great Lakes shoreline.

Lakes, campgrounds, wildlife refuges and 99 Michigan state parks and recreation areas create a wide variety of recreational pursuits. Rivers for water sports, and thousands of miles of hiking, biking, cross-country skiing and snowmobiling trails thread their way among some 100 species of trees.

Long days, relaxing weather and more than 800 pristine Michigan courses make for the perfect tee time. Because being able to play all day is Pure Michigan.

Hundreds of islands dot Michigan waters. Isle Royale National Park is a remote wilderness retreat in Lake Superior where wolves and moose roam free. Mackinac Island, located in the Straits of Mackinac, is a lush 19th-century resort community fixed firmly in the Victorian era, a car-free island dominated by an 18th-century fort and the more than a century-old Grand Hotel, America's largest summer resort hotel.

The Upper Peninsula, which is 90 percent forested, retains its aura of accessible wilderness. Vast wildlife and waterfowl refuges, 150 waterfalls, iron and copper mines, the Soo Locks (where ocean-going freighters make the 21-foot leap from Lake Superior to Lake Huron) are within an easy drive of one another.

The states capital is Lansing.

Thank you for the Honest scrap award. Mommy is going to put up our awards over the weekend and though we had this award we will add your name to it. =^Y^=

Thanks you guys for featuring me and Michigan on your blog. Mom says it's true that Michigan has some of the most beautiful places in the country. One of the pictures made her smile, the Delhi Rapids near Ann Arbor. She said when she was young and in college, they used to swim near those rapids. She also said she's been to most of those places too. Me, I haven't been much of anywhere, but the river near my home has been one of my favorite places.
