(Report by Jim) Last two days have been fairly grey. Today’s photos are a mixture of the last three. The last one below is today. Today, I got the pleasure of driving back from Traverse City in a snowstorm. I also found out I need new tires. Slowing down for stop signs taught me how to pray again. I… Read more »

(Report by Jim) Some images from earlier this month. The clouds were so good over the bay that I got some good ones just hanging out at the dock where the Manitou and Madeline are kept. The one above is stitched from four separate shots. It is a 50 Megapixel image overall. I found the fence on the… Read more »

(Report by Jim) Cleaning out the attic meant a trip to the Salvation Army Family Store in Traverse City. On the way back, I stopped at the Tall Ship Manitou as some nice clouds moved in on the big bay. There were plenty of boats out on a brisk, but comfortable top-down kind of day. I stopped and got… Read more »

This is a four shot vertical panorama. The shot below is the fog at it’s peak. This afternoon we helped rescue a… Read more »
