Grand Haven’s shoreline features a long, long pier that ends at Lake Michigan. This shot was taken at that spot. There’s usually a bunch of people hanging out there, especially at sunset.

Grand Rapids really did up the Celebration on the Grand fireworks right this year and lucky me, I caught it from the rooftop.

These little guys were getting daring!

One of the things I get a kick out of is the seagulls on the beach. I’ve heard people call them “rats with wings,” but I think they add to the mood of being at the beach.

Grand Rapids Condo Living At Sunset

Grand Rapids Condo Living

There has been a surge of people seeking condos in downtown Grand Rapids and it’s easy to see why when you spend some time in one of them. A lot of the condos have rooftop common areas where residents can enjoy the cityscape like I did on this warm summer night.

Hey Snoop, Michigan Loves You

Snoop Concert
Here’s the crowd at Snoop Dog’s concert at Rothbury, I don’t know how many people were here, but it was a lot. I can’t say enough good things about Rothbury, even though there is a big crowd, they are managing it very, very well. I’ll be posting lots more photos of Rothbury but it’s late so nighty night I’ll show you some more tomorrow. If you are thinking of going there, it’s not too late there’s plenty more going on Saturday and Sunday. Here’s a link to the Rothbury website.

Lotus flower in full bloom
As a yoga lover, I’ve always been fascinated with lotus flowers. This year I finally built a lotus bog and here’s my the first bloom.

By the way, thanks everyone who came out to see me at the Reed’s Lake Fine Art Show today in East Grand Rapids. It was a great show and I was honored to be included with all the wonderful artists there.

Storm’s Coming to Saugatuck

Storm clouds ovr Lake Michigan at Oval Beach
I thought I’d stop by Oval Beach on the way to the Saugatuck Waterfont Film Festival and saw this weather front blowing in over Lake Michigan. Even though it started raining, I still had a great time, always do in Saugatuck.

She’s A Flame Thrower

Rachle Finan, Flame Thrower

Rachle Finan of the Super Happy Funtime Burlesque performed a fire dance tonight at the Forest Hills Fine Arts Center Avenue for the Arts event. I’d never seen a fire dance before, it was really interesting, especially with Rachle. She has a lot of energy and enthusiasm… my son calls her “Sexy Pochahontas.”
