Today started off with a magnificent clear sky. A perfect summer day. Yesterday, I explored Fishtown from the water. The first two photos are mermaid moments. Then, last night we kicked off the summer with the first Sunday Night Sing. The third photo honors a line from a favorite tune: “…the afterglow when the sun has set, these are things I’ll never… Read more »
The day certainly didn’t start out in the right direction entertaining us with thunder and rain. The threat subsided and the artists returned to their easels. Busy most of the morning and early afternoon working at St. Wenceslaus Chicken Dinner. Checked out Fishtown around 2 and was impressed with the artists work.
Last night at the Leelanau Historical Museum, Norb Gits officially opened and dedicated the Norbert Gits Family Gallery and Bluestone Conference Room which featured my Fishtown pen & inks as well as other artists and photographers at a special showing for Museum Benefactors. In Fishtown this morning, artists set up their easels to capture the beauty of this wonderful and… Read more »
The old house in the picture at the top was the featured on the Leland Report, February 8, 2002. A number of years ago it fell down or was knocked down and is has been lying in a pile for awhile. It’s another beautiful day here in Leelanau County.
The first day of summer is just as it should be… warm, sunny, beautiful in every way.

The sailing class was small but in a week or two there will be a lot more students. A Fishtown Story: As usual Biscuit gets a lot of attention in Fishtown, even from those who have… Read more »

Earlier this weekend, we met Lucy at Stander Marine in Leland – calmly riding along as her master goes about his work. Also it’s a great time to walk the trail at Leelanau Conservancy’s Houdek Dunes Natural Area to see the… Read more »
The day began with beautiful blue skies and puffy white clouds and around noon, dark clouds started moving in from the southwest and a sprinkle or two happened. Other than that it was a beautiful Sunday in May. Fishtown was filled to capacity with weekend visitors, places to park… none.
There is the rumble of thunder and radar shows a big cell headed for Leland. Rain is on it’s way, probably good for the wildflowers.
The promised rain happened somewhere else. Still some fog lingering with occasional sunshine cutting through. A nice day in spite of the forecast.
