If it wasn’t for the coolness of the morning, you could believe you were in Hawaii looking out at the surf. Sweatshirt weather, never the less a beautiful first day of July. A challenging day for sailors on Big Blue. Sunny, mid 70’s with possible weather system moving through on Thursday which means a great 4th of July celebration.
Lots of visitors enjoying the beautiful weather that in a few hours will change to rain. A front still on the other side of Big Blue is headed this way. The prediction is for rain starting around 8 pm and ending around 5 am tomorrow. Until then….. enjoy!
Another beautiful cool get-up. one of the amenities we enjoy is crisp clean air. I mentioned yesterday that I would post a couple of pictures of the summer cottage that was torn down on Cemetery Point. The cottage was owned by Edmund and Virginia Ball, ideal for entertaining with panoramic views of North Lake Leelanau. I photographed every room and… Read more »

A new cottage is being built on Cemetery Point. I took pictures of the original home before it was torn down, I’ll post one tomorrow. Attended a cocktail… Read more »
Today started off with a magnificent clear sky. A perfect summer day. Yesterday, I explored Fishtown from the water. The first two photos are mermaid moments.

The day certainly didn’t start out in the right direction entertaining us with thunder and rain. The threat subsided and the artists returned to their easels. Busy most of the morning and early afternoon working at St. Wenceslaus Chicken Dinner. Checked out Fishtown around 2 and was impressed with the artists work.
Last night at the Leelanau Historical Museum, Norb Gits officially opened and dedicated the Norbert Gits Family Gallery and Bluestone Conference Room which featured my Fishtown pen & inks as well as other artists and photographers at a special showing for Museum Benefactors. In Fishtown this morning, artists set up their easels to capture the beauty of this wonderful and… Read more »
The old house in the picture at the top was the featured on the Leland Report, February 8, 2002. A number of years ago it fell down or was knocked down and is has been lying in a pile for awhile. It’s another beautiful day here in Leelanau County.
The day began with a mostly cloudy sky that really was the highlight of the morning picture taking. I was very lucky to get the morning pictures as the battery died after about 7 takes. I probably should check the gage every once in awhile.
Biscuit and I were treated to a great afternoon of trail Jeeping in the hills and backwoods overlooking Sugarloaf. With old friend Jim Gruber, we drove on trails camouflaged by Mother Nature and around many of the trees fallen by the straight winds of last summers Aug 2nd.
