Michigan sunsets are a spectacular show of beauty. This sunset was later in the day, at the beach in Manistee after the storm from my previous two posts.

Here’s another photo of the storm that sprouted water spouts, as it roared on shore in Manistee.
Water spouts over Lake Michigan were seen nearby right about the same time I took this photo. We ran up a flight of 80 stairs into our friends’ beach house on a 100′ bluff overlooking the lake. The storm hit right after we got inside. This is the second time I’ve seen a storm like this in the Manistee beach area.
I was lucky I didn’t get into any wrecks when I first moved to Michigan. I was constantly distracted by the most beautiful skies I’ve ever seen in my life. This was taken in the early spring in the Leelanau peninsula along a little detour off M-22, just take the loop around South Port Oneida Road.
I was on my way back from dropping art off at Synchronicity in Glen Arbor and took a detour through the woods here. It was early spring and the trees hadn’t bloomed yet. In spite of this, it was still beautiful in the spring. This is in a detour off M-22, just take the loop around South Port Oneida Road. It’s awesome and you’ll love it!
There’s been several times when I’ve driven by this house and saw these chickens outside. If you’re up this way, you may see them too. This is also along M-22 in the Leelanau peninsula. This is near one of my favorite restaurants, it’s called North and they feature some of my artwork on their walls. I love this place because of the casual atmosphere with lots of windows and incredible menu. I make a point of going there every chance I get and have never been disappointed.
Okay, I just have to tell you about the Leelanau Peninsula! It’s beautiful in a rustic way that is untouched by commercialization. The Leeland area is brimming with beautiful scenery and quaint out of the way shops and lodging. I will be adding more photos and posts about this area over the next few days. This image is by the side of the road when driving through the loop on M-22.
