Vol XVI – #158 – Blustone Vineyards and Puffy White Clouds

A perfect day to visit one of our favorite vineyards.  The puffy white clouds were the perfect touch.  It wont be long and the 2016 grapes will be ready for harvest.    

Vol XVI – #156 – On the Way Back From the Big City By the Bay

A visit to the dentist in the Big City By the Bay today and then lunch at the West End Tavern, Apache Trout Grill’s new restaurant on the harbor.  Had a Tavern Burger, not bad at all.    

Vol XVI – #155 – Along the Road

  Most of my pictures are taken in Fishtown, Van’s Beach or from the bridge over the River Carp.  I don’t have the mobility of yester year, today’s pictures were taken from behind the steering wheel.  On a day like this, no matter where you go, there’s a picture to be taken.   

Vol XVI – #146 – Meggen’s Monday

  This morning, the harbor flew a small craft advisory pennant. The Manitou Passage is likely to be rough, even if it doesn’t appear too bad from shore. I always enjoy looking out at the islands no matter what’s going on with the wind, rain, and sunshine. Today as they often do, the tips of the islands seem to float… Read more »

Vol XVI – #140 – Boathouse Tuesday

From mostly cloudy to fantastic cloudy, what a sky show.!  We have had terrific cloud formations the past couple of days.  A one mile per hour northeast wind provided us with a picture taking calm Big Blue. 

Vol XVI – #138 – On the Way Back From Stocking Drive

Another beautiful morning, another beautiful day.  We decided to Jeep it to Glen Arbor and then on for a scenic trip through Stocking Drive and drive we did as there were no parking places anywhere.  Stopped to picture take on the way back home.  Little Glen Lake below.

Vol XVI – #137 – And the Winner Is….

  The morning began with the threat of rain and it did very lightly, enough to wash the dust off the car.  Better than nothing.  Some blue tried to move in around noon, but it quickly clouded over again. I was chosen to pick the winning ticket for the Fishtown Preservation Raffle.  Winning tickets went to Northport, Leland and out… Read more »

Vol XVI – #136 – Buy Some Raffle Tickets

Dark skies, but no rain, great day to buy raffle tickets. Not a great day for the car below as it was rear ended and pushed under UPS Tom’s truck.  The car that struck it went on, air bag employed and sideswiped 3 parked cars. The driver sent off to Munson in an ambulance.  I arrived after the fact and only know… Read more »

Vol XVI – #135 – The Day Began Perfect

  And then the sky turned gray because rain is on it’s way.  At least we hope it’s on it’s way.  Unfortunately there is a meteor shower tonight.  The Leland sidewalk sale in progress.  Busy times.
