Oban's signature bird. They can be seen all year round, but spring when they nest in the sea wall, is the best time to visit.

Monday I made multiple drive & stop visits to Lake Michigan to capture the day.

Wandering along Lake Michigan's western shore on yet another gray day I spied an interesting piece of driftwood.

Sunday morning on a breezy, hazy day this sailboat left Sheboygan harbor. I saw it during my beach walk.

This is a view I saw this morning at Deland Park in Sheboygan, Wisconsin. As it was gray, cold, and misty I appreciated my waterproof GoPro.

Looking past the brambles of life. Finding, passion, warmth, life and the hopes of a better today.

After exploring some of the canyons around Dry Falls and Deep Lake we headed for the truck.

It's time to leave the shore and explore Lake Michigan a bit.

Exiting the mouth of the Humber River this intrepid canoeist is heading straight out into the lake. Smoke from the forest fires in Quebec shroud the city and created a hazy horizon and gave rise to air quality warnings.
