Not really sure what this barn looked like when I pushed the shutter button. We were returning from our annual visit to our eye doctors. Nice surprise when I opened it up in Photoshop. It was a very nice day in Leelanau County

The Monday morning haze is melting away to reveal another perfect Leelanau morning. T’storms predicted for this afternoon, however. (Last photo) Jim and family hiked up Empire Bluffs Trail right before the rain moved in. These wild lilies dot the steep hillside

Everything about today was perfect, sunny, a light wind, temperature in the 70’s. The kind of a day you would like to go to the beach.
