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 !

always a great place to walk and enjoy.

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.

Inside old lighthouse on island on Lake Huron

The newest item on the island is this fine replica of a 17' foot rescue and general purpose boat, as used by former lighthouse keepers on the island....from 1859-1954. It was built this past year and a half by Mr. Bob Trelford...who used at least a half dozen different woods in its construction . Bob has been one of the most involved, skilled, and generous of the volunteers who have transformed this island into a wonderful place of history .The boat is now on display on the reconstructed boathouse on the island. ( Lake Huron, at Southampton, Ontario )

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.

Site of a future adventure?

The lake was incredibly still this afternoon.

Another perfect evening!

This reef is so named because if you look down at the reef (from an airplane), it truly looks like a pair of eyeglasses

We live on the "Sunrise Side" coast of Michigan. Everytime my granddaughter, Jacalyn, comes up to stay something beautiful always happens. When Jacalyn arrived to the lake house yesterday, this spectacular sky was painted by the hand of God. Scenes like this on the lake are usually only seen in the morning as the sun is rising, not at dusk.

Lake Huron at Dawn

The fog was so thick, the outboard you see had to come find our Shepler tour so we could see the light. This picture is signifcantly digitally enhanced.
