This bright, flaming orange male Baltimore Oriole lit up the drab colors of the tangle of branches on the bank of the Clinton River.

This species was high on the want list for me this trip to the upper peninsula. It can be found in the lower peninsula but not at the sites I visit there. I encountered a bunch of these singing away. The song is so much different than the similar appearing L0uisiana Waterthrush as is the breeding habitat. It was a lot of fun to spend some time with this species.

I make a mixture of mealworms, peanutbutter and chopped raisins for the bluebirds. Here he is about to get some.
You know I am not a fan of over-saturation so I will tell you that this bright blue is right out of the camera. I guess you could say he is in his breeding colors.

I got an external back-up hard drive (on sale at Costco) and put all my photos on it. Now, I've deleted most of them from my computer and have freed up over 300 GB of space! Yea.
Rising sun in Petoskey, Michigan, about 500 miles from the Canadian fires in Quebec. You can smell the smoke in the air, it feel like someone is burning stuff in their backyard. The days are hazy, people cough, and I got a headache at the end of the day. The smoke has been coming in for about a week; I can't imagine what it can be like on site.
Let the fields be jubilant, and everything in them;
let all the trees of the forest sing for joy.

This one acts and feeds differently from the original Mr. Bub. I guess we are calling him Second Bub.

By the way, the large bokeh circles on the right are from the camera. I did not photoshop them in.

From the Hoffmaster campground there is a small dune for climbing. Make sure to climb the dune at sunset, you will get one of the most amazing views of all Lake Michigan!
It was worth getting up early to watch the rain race across Lake Michigan.
This is dedicated to all of you who capture these type of images so well and inspire the rest of us.
Stopped in TC the other day when we were down there and bought a big rib eye steak at The Butcher's Block grand opening. A friend the day before dropped off a bag of morel mushrooms (she knew Dave and I weren't out walking in the woods this spring). This was just before I threw on the grill. Best steak we have had in years and the mushrooms made it all the better. Next year will be out for them again.
I had forgotten about the photo until recently. We came across this old house while exploring the Michigan fall colors last October. Although the house is abandoned and left in disrepair, it still seems to hold a certain proud dignity and memory of earlier times.
