Vol XVI – #226 – Roadside Views

  Took a tour of some out of the way roads I’ve not traveled on for some time.  Leelanau Country is rich in farm beauty.  I retired in 1988 from Case IH after working 31 years at the International Harvester Farm Equipment  Research and Engineering Center located west of Chicago on 500 acres of experimental farmland.  I enjoy touring the back roads and seeing… Read more »

Vol XVI – #225 – A Good Day to Go to the Big City By the Bay

Spent  most of the day in The Big City by the Bay.  With not a lot of time Biscuit and I went to Fishtown and I took a bunch of pictures.  What you see is that Fishtown is kinda empty.

Vol XVI – #223 – Meggen’s Monday

We are having a streak of weather that could be mistaken for summer, with the possible exception of many leaves showing non-green hues. Today’s photographs are again from within the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. The park has a “Trekker’s Challenge,” to hike “all” (13) mainland trails within a year (which I finished this weekend). Dad accompanied me on the most challenging of… Read more »

Vol XVI – #222 – A Day To Reflect Upon

Another record breaking day, something to reflect upon.  Only two shops open, Tug Stuff and Leif Sporck’s Tile Shop.  You would think more shops would be open on such a nice summer day.   The 2017 Leland Report Calendar is now shipping!

Vol XVI – #220 – So Clear You Can See Forever

    A beautiful clear day with comfortable temperatures, just right for getting  Biscuit back into our morning routine.  I just have to keep him from jumping and running to safeguard the stiches.  The 2017 Leland Report Calendar is now shipping!

Vol XVI – #219 – From the Drivers Seat

I took Biscuit for a ride and todays pictures with the exception of the Biscuit Report were taken from the drivers seat.  The picture below was taken last Sunday and the gentleman with Biscuit is an opera singer from New York City.  Standing up he had to duck walking into Reflections.   There is no doubt that I get my greatest pleasure… Read more »

Vol XVI – #218 – Stayed Home With Biscuit

Around noon Biscuit started to recover and wanted a Jeep trip, but too early for jumping into.  He has not been further than 5 feet away from me and sneaking out take pictures for the Report was out of the question.  So I put together the November 2nd Reports from 2001 with 2016 from my front porch.  Maybe tomorrow.   The… Read more »

Vol XVI – #217 – Not Biscuits Best Day

Biscuit had a fatty tumor removed this morning and will be out of the spotlight for at least a week, stiches removed in two weeks.  What kind of a day was it… enh The 2017 Leland Report Calendar is now shipping!
