I enjoy the Great Lakes, small lakes, abundant nature, back roads, small towns, big cities, and sports that our unique state has. I like to share pictures of interesting things I see beyond where the pavement ends. I appreciate when others post pictures or thoughts of the cool moments they experience in every day life. All photos are mine unless noted.

A pair of blue mittens featuring a map design of Michigan's Upper and Lower Peninsulas. Michigan’s upper and lower peninsulas are shaped like mittens to begin with. The mittens display various cities and landmarks in white rubber lettering, resting on a table.

Taken last winter. A view from the shore over a frozen bay on Lake Michigan. On the left a wharf heads out into the bay. In the distance there is a white lighthouse. If the foreground is yellow dune grass blowing in the wind. Roiling clouds of blue and white are overhead. It is very cold and windy.

A yellow tractor sprinkler as it drives by a garden with pink flowers. This was my dad’s and is at least 50 years old if not older. The spinning top cast two water streams in arcs across the picture.

A sunset picture displaying several layers of clouds. At the horizon is a typical orange hue with distant dark bands of clouds. Stretching from the distance to right overhead are dark low clouds with intricate weaving patterns. Above that are white clouds and blue skies. Almost like several photos superimposed, but this is just what that the night presented. Photo from a few years ago.
