Vol XVI # 054 – Beautiful

   The aerial photo shown above was actually taken 12 years ago on May 19, 2004.  If I could take flight today I venture to say…  it would look exactly to same.  The county is blessed with a fantastic show of cherry blossoms.       

Vol XVI # 053 – A Beautiful Saturday in May

   Another beautiful day in the Leelanau.  The stillness of the air presented Big Blue with a mirror surface perfect for Blue Stoners.  But no rock collectors were on the beach.          

Vol XVI # 052 – AM 580 On Your Radio Dial

   Jim and I were interviewed by Colleen Wares, WTCM radio, in the Big City By the Bay this morning at 11:30 am EDT.  We talked about the Leland Report book that has just been printed and will be available here in Leland in June.  Jim by telephone and I of course in person.  I was fortunate enough to find a… Read more »

Vol XVI # 050 – More Nice Days Are On The Way

  Overnight temperatures were below freezing for most of the Upper/Lower.  Cherry blossoms are the main concern when it drops to below 30 degrees.  Last year, grapes took the hit.  The forecast is… nicer days are on the way.  It looks nice and is starting to feel nice.        

Vol XVI # 047 – Looks Nice, But Doesn’t Feel Nice

Brrr… Winter returned with wind out of the north and near freezing temperatures with snow showers.  The sky opened up around noon and turned a beautiful blue.  Fishtown looked picture postcard good except there were no visitors.  Sunday afternoon on a sun shinny day in May and there ain’t nobody there.      

Vol XVI # 046 – Wind, Rain and Then the Sun Came Out

A wintery beginning with rain, wind and dark skies.  Not a nice morning at all.  Falling Waters had a full house with guests for a Leland wedding, hopefully not on the beach. And then the skies began to clear at noon and the sun took over.  The wind dominated the beach scene and kites began to fly.  What kind of a… Read more »

Vol XVI # 045 – Friday the 13th

  A cloudy startup with interesting patterns.  Crossing the bridge over the Carp River I saw today’s main picture.  Looking west out over Fishtown there was blue sky. Late morning provided that sunshine to bask in.  But, it’s still Spring and it changes by the hour if not the minute.  Tomorrow the forecast promises cooler air with rain or snow showers… Read more »

Vol XVI # 044 – A Foggy Day In Leland Town

A partly cloudy beginning with light rain mid-morning and dense fog by noon.  In spite of the weather, picture taking was not so bad. It’s with great sadness that we report the passing of Paul Scott. A gentle man who will be missed by many.
