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.

The age of the visitors to Leland has changed as the families with school age children are back at home and the older generations are on the move. It’s amazing how many arrive on 2 wheels decked out in full leather.   I used to have a motorcycle… rode it here in the Leelanau wearing shorts, tee shirt, tennis shoes –… Read more »

When I think of summer weather, I think of days just like today. Sunny, a little cool in the morning, warming up during the day.  It’s a great time for a swim in the big lake!   Wishing our granddaughter Meredith Burnham a Happy 13th Birthday

A rainy day for sure and in spite of that, it was busy day in Fishtown.  It was also busy on the south side of the Carp River as the crew of the JOY packed up the nets and gear, called it a season.

Normally the pictures for the report are taken in the morning or at noon, today mid afternoon after a long session in the Big City By the Bay.   Incredible cloud formations all day which waited for me to get back home. Great to catch the Cove’s water taxi in motion.  What kind of an afternoon was it?… Great!     … Read more »

  To Suttons Bay and back this morning for a pre-op physical.  Going to have cataract surgery early next month, I really don’t know what the Leland Report will be, hopefully son Jim can make some magic happen from central Illinois.  Joanne and I enjoyed lunch at the Cove, always a pleasant experience, especially the service.

Bright skies quickly changed to darkness, thunder, lightning and our morning began with a bang.   For the second time this summer the Jeep had it’s safari top installed.  In spite of the rain drops, Fishtown was crowded.

Keith Burnham    August 23, 2016    3 Comments on Vol XVI – #147 – Blue Heron Tuesday

After a brief overnight shower, the morning began with puffy whites and a light breeze.  A tree that has been for the past year a monument to the August 2, 2015 storm at Lake and Pearl, was history by mid morning. The picture of the Blue Heron was actually taken yesterday after the Sheriff alerted me that it was across… Read more »
