March Snow
It’s March 28 for crying out loud. Whatever happened to that saying “in like a lion, out like a lamb”? That’s what I was thinking last night when it started snowing, and then I woke up to this beautiful snowy morning. After I finished up my early meetings today I pulled to the side of the road on the way home and took this photo. This is why I live in Michigan, even though I am so thoroughly ready for it to warm up. I swear if I hear Chicago has a warm spell before we do, I’m getting in my car and driving there for a couple days.

Lake Harbor Park, Muskegon MI
I’ve been wanting to get some photos of Muskegon. So here you go! I was visiting Lake Harbor Park, and as I was walking towards the trails I heard this HUGE commotion past the bridge and decided to investigate. There was a big flock of birds making all the noise. So I scared them so they would fly off and I could get this shot, this is after most of them were airborne and out of the shot. I have some more photos of Muskegon that I’ll be posting over the next few days.

Big Snow
You know how the weather forcasters are always hyping the storms… so eventually no one takes them seriously? Well, um I guess they got it right this time. It’s still coming down hard here in Grand Rapids, but I took this a little while ago while it was still light out. Wonder what we’ll wake up to, I’m planning a trip to Muskegon tomorrow. Yikes!

The Pictured Rocks are located in the Upper Peninsula (UP) in Munising, Michigan and are quite spectacular. It seems like everything in the UP is a little over the top and the Pictured Rocks are no exception. If you go there, you’ll probably want to take a boat tour.

Houghton MI
If you’ve never been to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, you really need to make the trip. It’s another world up there, a trip back in time. I took this in Houghton a few years ago with my film camera on an overcast day.

Some of my ancestry is from Cornwall, UK and were miners. One of the things I found fascinating about the U.P. was all of the mining history. This coming summer I plan on spending some mega time up there taking photos.
