Yesterday was a trip with my daughter Meredith out on our friend’s Ranger 20. A day to slow down, smell the flowers, pose, and be an ad for Bells. 😀 Again, thanks for continuing to join me on this journey!
Ok, this is a long one, so find a seat. Since Deb and I were spending an extended period of time up in Leland, we decided to take the trek out to South Manitou on the Mishe-Mokwa. I haven’t been out to the Island since I taught sailing at the Leland Yacht Club with Steve Bachmeyer and Jim Mello back… Read more »
It’s really been an unseasonably cold Summer so far. It doesn’t feel like it broke 74 from the time I was in the Art Shanty to today, but the last three days were spectacular. The first photo is one of my favorite vistas on Pertner Rd and Macksey. With the perfect blend of orchard and farm, all I have to… Read more »
Happy 4th of July! The lake was peppered with boats last night for the fireworks in Hancock Field. We started the day by taking a bike ride around the lake before I went down for my last day at the Art Shanty. I’ll be back next year. Thank you for everyone who came down to visit, it was nice to… Read more »
Come down to the Art Shanty in Fishtown (right under Haystacks) through 7/4. I’ll be there with canvas, metal, and framed prints, and some cool little acrylic blocks. We’ll also have some Keith Burnham Leland series pen and ink prints, framed and unframed.

I started with week with Trillium, so I’ll end the week with Cherry blossoms. As it happens sometimes, the clouds and rain were only out when I was shooting, but I got to spend the sunny day riding around the lake and out on the boat. The Leland Report Jeep was out. If you were driving around St… Read more »
Nice light and light wind tonight so I went down to North Beach and launched the drone and did a video run from a mile south to a mile north to compare with the one I did when the water level was at its peak. I’ll post that when I make it. Below is a view of the finished… Read more »
Fishtown is looking pretty ready for the season! The water level is not as low as it has been recently at 579.5′, but way off the high of just over 582.3′ in 2020. The dredger is running and dumping sand down by South Beach. Today’s water level: Taken back in 2019 (with seiches, the level easily went over… Read more »
Trillium season is in full swing. I found these at the top of the hill near the open field on the Clay Cliffs trail North of Leland. Looking forward to nice weather all this week for some other shots, maybe some drone footage. The best Trillium display I’ve seen was on the Arcadia Dunes Trail just North of Arcadia…. Read more »
