Oval Beach In Saugatuck, MI

Memorial Day weekend marks the start of summer as far as most Michiganders are concerned. This is what we’ve been waiting for all winter long, the sugar sand beaches, beautiful cloudy skies, warm wind blowing off the water and clean air that feels and smells like it does when you live on a peninsula surrounded by fresh water. Today I feel like I live in one of the most beautiful places in the world.

I can’t decide if I like the Frederik Meijer Gardens more at Christmas or in the summer. What I can say is that it’s a beautiful place to visit any time of day, and any time of year. If you’re still looking for that perfect Christmas present, they have a gift shop with reasonably priced gifts that are unique and special.

Michigan Sweet Spot was created by me, Ann Teliczan. I’m a fine artist and photographer and wanted to share my love for Michigan with the world. The images on this website are all HDR photography, which is slightly exaggerated for effect.

I wanted to make it easy to go see the places I’m blogging about so most of the images here also have a Google map link to the location the photo was taken so you can actually go see it for yourself.

This is a fluid website, so you may need to make your window wider to view the site without the navigation bar overlapping the images. Thank you to every one who makes comments on my website, I appreciate and read them all.

For information about my fine art, which is different from the HDR photography seen on this site, check out my fine art site www.Anntopia.com.
