Vol XV #216 – A Nicer Day Than Yesterday

Indeed, a much nicer day than yesterday. The 10 day forecast is calling for some pretty nice weather with the exception of tomorrows 90% chance of rain. Still a lot of color, both in the trees and on the ground. Time change this weekend, I really don’t know why we have Daylight Savings Time. Being at the west end of the… Read more »

I didn’t see the full eclipse, but caught it during the “second half.” We’ve been having a run of incredibly beautiful days, both with clear skies and otherwise… still thoroughly enjoyable. Later, the clouds began to obscure the moon again. Lake Leelanau, Sunday. Good Harbor Bay, Saturday…. Read more »
