Today’s report is by Jim. Even when it’s dark, the color of the sunset lingers. Most people leave, but I stay because a camera, with a long exposure set, can capture color that is not visible to the eye. It smooths out waves, draws out clouds and simplifies chaos. It doesn’t matter when you’re there, this is Happy Hour… Read more »
Managing a website has it’s good days, then there there was today. Â The site is going to look a little different for a short time. Maybe I’ll leave it like this. Going straight to lelandreport.com (for those of you who use shortcuts on your computer) will show you a list of recent posts. However, the links in the emails will… Read more »
  (Report by Jim) Easter Sunday is cold and cloudy, but at least it isn’t raining. On the way back from St. Wenceslaus this morning, I saw this group of seagulls chillin’ on the roof of a nearby barn. There is always something to see here.
  (Report by Jim) It was a beautiful 60 sunny degrees today so we went out rock hunting with a few others out on South Beach. What was a significant snowfall has turned into not so much with all the warm weather. The deputy that wrote up my deer collision was the same one that has given me my last three… Read more »
This is one of the reasons we drive as far as we do to come up here.

As I was taking… Read more »

(Report by Jim) Still a blackout in Leland. Today’s photos are by Erhardt Peters, turn of the century photographer from Ludington and Leland. Fishing was year-round as long as the ice was passable. And if the ice wasn’t passable, they made it passable. According to Joel Petersen, the rocking made it easier to move through the ice. This is circa… Read more »
(Report by Jim) Power is still out in Leland but crews are working today. Here is another fine photo of the 2013 snow season which brought record accumulation to the area. A hearty thank you to the crews that had to work yesterday and today and probably into the weekend to restore power to the area. Meggen and Joel Petersen… Read more »
