Okay, Michigan truly is a sweet spot, but I’ve got to admit I’m a little weary of winter now. In fact, I’m boycotting it for a few days on my blog. So, in honor of the sunny, warm Michigan days ahead I’m posting this. I took it on my birthday in Whitehall. The air was fresh, the sky was blue, it was hot and I was happy.

If you live in Michigan, or have visited here, I’ll bet you’re longing for a day like this. Here’s something to think about to help keep you warm!
I took this shot at the Lubbers farm on the Northwest side of Grand Rapids on Luce Street. They are members of a group of local West Michigan farmers who have joined together to promote a sustainable local food system. The group is called the Greater Grand Rapids Food Systems Council, click here for a link to their site to find out more about this great organization.
For all of you golf lovers, there’s a beautiful golf course in Greenville. I took this near the clubhouse at the Greenville Country Club. Here’s a google map link.
I know a lot of people who have moved to the Byron Center and Caledonia area. After driving around there, I can see why. If you’re looking for a relaxing afternoon drive, cruise out to 100th Street and drive through the farmland, this is one of the barns I saw while checking it out. By the way, if you have any great ideas for fall color tour pics, please make a comment and let me know. I want to get some pics from all over the state and appreciate your suggestions. (Thanks!)
I saw these little ducks just waddling along saying “hi” to everyone they passed in Hemlock Park in Big Rapids.
Annie, you’ve got to go take some pictures on 100th Street.” I finally listened to my mom and this is the result. I took this on a little side road off 100th Street in the Caledonia/Byron Center area. It’s a beautiful area to drive around. Thanks, Ma!
John A. Collins Park at Reeds Lake in East Grand Rapids is a perfect place to go on a lazy, warm day. Everyone was catching the rays, hoping this wouldn’t be the last weekend summer day we get in 07.
There’s just something about horse farms that amazes me. I love the fences and grass and magnificence of the horses. I see a lot of horse farms around here, this one always makes me stop and stare.
Michigan is dotted with tons of little airports that are full of opportunity, adventure and fun. Here’s a shot of one for my favorite flyboy.
