You would not believe the grossness I walked through to get this shot. The best photo angle was through a mucky swampy area though, so I walked through it barefoot. I really hope I can get the mud out of my toenails before I have an executive level meeting tomorrow at work.
I took this off Pettis Avenue at Chief Lazy Cloud park in Ada. What a perfect place to watch the sun go down. I heard that the Pettis family owns property adjacent to the park and are going to donate land to make it bigger.
When I discovered Dogwood Avenue in Ada, I thought the people who lived on that street were the luckiest in the world. Not their cars though, because this is a dirt road. Imagine having this in your side yard.
This historic covered bridge provides a walkway over the Thornapple River in Ada. There is a nearby ball diamond and my favorite resale shop, Georgie’s, is just beyond that. I’ll have a lot more photos of Ada soon, I love Ada. Heck, you know that, because by now you know I love everywhere I put on this Blog. I’ll put a google map link to this location tomorrow.
The locals in Onekama told me Portage Point is a favorite place to go. I took this HDR photo while standing in the bay behind Portage Point Inn. I have it on good word from Beth that this is a great place to meet a husband. Can you see why?
I heard about this beautiful tree lined street from the staff at the Blue Slipper Pub (photos and link coming soon.) They told me that this is where a lot of wedding parties go to get their photos taken. I can see why! The street is between Onekema and Manistee, I’ll add a google map link to the exact location next week when I get caught up on the map links.
This is a typical sight in the summer when you get a little inland throughout northern Michigan. I just had to take this picture of freshly baled hay.
There’s a nice little place for sailboat rides, it launches into this beautiful scene. There’s a little park here too.
First thing I noticed when I pulled into the parking lot at Oval Beach in Saugatuck was this incredible Lamborghini. The owner, a prominent surgeon in Traverse City, was relaxing nearby and I chit chatted with him a bit about the car. It is a one of a kind, custom made in Italy.
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.
