We’ve been offline for awhile taking care of some things. Today’s post marks a restart of sorts…
So it’s been awhile since I posted anything. Summer always seems to get in the way. Too much going on and not enough photography. That’s about to change.
We saw this thunderstorm developing out over the water while doing some work on the boat. Only problem was I didn’t have my camera with me! We’ve been having daily thunderstorms for almost two weeks now but this one seemed different.
There are 129 lighthouses in the State of Michigan and during some recent windy conditions I decided to visit one nearby. It’s called Point Betsie lighthouse and marks a point and shoal area on the Lake Michigan shoreline.
Northwest Michigan is well known for its abundance of lakes and unique bays off Lake Michigan. It’s truly a boaters paradise in the summer. It’s also well known for its cherry crop and is the self proclaimed “Cherry Capital of the World”. And right now, the cherry trees are in full bloom.
While working on the sailboat to get it ready for spring launch, I still plan to get out and make photographs. It can’t be all work. Gotta have a little play in there too. Case in point is this recent image from Manistee, MI which is near where we’re working on the boat.
After a day of high winds on Lake Michigan, the waves were crashing into the seawall with impressive force.
Every once in a while the light is so incredible that the image almost makes itself. This was one of those times.
Since we currently live in Northwest Michigan, one of my favorite places to go for a hike is the Empire Bluffs Overlook trail in the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. This is the place that Good Morning America named the most beautiful place in America back in 2011.
