Vol XVI # 019 – On A Day Like Today You Can…

On a day like today you could do anything you wanted to do.  It was summertime in Leelanau County.   Bicycles and motorcycles shared the roadways.  There was a group sunning in chairs on South Beach mid-morning.  It was a day to clean the garage.

Vol XVI # 002- Down By the Riverside

A very tough day to go out and take a picture, the thought being, take a picture of what?  A drizzly morning with limited visibility.  Besides, it was really chilly, especially with a north wind.  This is not a new situation because for the past 15 years I’ve had a lot days just like today.   So what do I do?…  I go and… Read more »
