It looks like an artist painted the sky with some colour and brushes last night.

Manitoulin Island, Ontario

I peed my pants a little.

Just north of Harrisville (MI), turn right on Point road and it will take you to this light

Collingwood, Ontario.

While waiting for my girls to cross the Mackinac Bridge on the 57th annual bridge walk, I caught the rising sun over Lake Huron from the park at Old Mackinac Point lighthouse.

Boxing Day was very warm up here, and the snow was melting. This moss was uncovered and glowing.

Wasaga Beach, Ontario.

Sunrise before our departure.

on the shores of Lake Huron, in the faraway village of Caseville, some of the little people ventured out among us.

this photo is from the archive, reworked in Silver Efex Pro, maybe a little over the top... spray from Lake Huron coats these blocks giving them this cool coating

Sunday evening sunset...Monday...we're off to the city to spend Thanksgiving with our family....best wishes to all of you.... Back soon...see you then !

For a few minutes the sun came out this afternoon...so I too was out like a shot !!!

From a recent shoot near Lexington, Michigan, on the southern end of Lake Huron.

Lake Huron-Michigan is the second largest lake in the world (if you define them as one lake). Normally, the freshwater is great for swimming, fishing, or any other water recreations.

The winter of 2013 was much colder and snowier than years past which have been great for bringing the water levels back up, but has kept the temperatures down. In June, you still don't see many people swimming because the temps are uncomfortably cold.

Still, the Great Lakes are among the more beautiful sights I've known in my life.

lake levels are a little higher this year..... several reasons.... we had a bit of rain this morning....everything's wet!

I like the old-post-card-coloration look of the bay scene today.....

I surprised a cat into moving....

roses were dripping...

and the new lily has flowers that fade with age...making a nice contrast...

and the snails were not fast...

The ship has sailed on another Flight of the Bumblebees.

I scored in the middle of the pack on this very friendly gathering finishing ahead of my 2 Canadian counterparts for the second time since I have been participating. So it's onto another QRP event this weekend, Skeeter & the weather is looking good so far!

Just 6 miles north of Rogers City, on a major US highway (US-23), in the summer this light is pretty hard to get to because of the traffic.

Sure it's cooler and pretty windy but I like it that way.

Site of a future adventure?

This baby takes a nap while waiting for it's sibling to take flight.

The lake was incredibly still this afternoon.

Another perfect evening!
