(Report by Jim) I was sitting at the Bluebird with Leelanau.com‘s Andy McFarlane when he quickly excused himself and said he was going out to take the sunset. Bah, I thought, there were too many clouds! Then I saw the sunshine hitting the Verterra Wine Tasting room and I grabbed my camera out of the car. That’s me in the… Read more »
(Report by Jim) More shots from drone day on the North side. I’m in the process of getting my commercial certification, which will open up possibilities to do paid work. There are so many possibilities to take amazing photos with drones, but I will not fly them in state or national parks without permission, or fly it around people. There… Read more »
(Report by Jim) Took my daughter down to Suttons Bay for some portraits. Actually, SHE took me down to take portraits of her! Looks like some new docks are ready to go in at the harbor. I took a walk around on them, pretty solid! My panorama didn’t turn out exactly like I expected, but it was an experiment, anyway…. Read more »
See the video here: (Report by Jim) The Leland Report has a new toy. Took the Phantom 4 drone out onto the beach North of town up to around Golfview Dr. Also met Mike, one of the ice boaters today out for a run off Fudgie Beach.
(Report by Jim) There was sun today! Didn’t see it? I almost didn’t, either! I went down to Sleeping Bear Dunes to see if anyone was sledding, found a few post-christmas sledders and some blue sky. It didn’t last long, however, but it was enough.
(Report by Jim) Christmas Evening. Sunset views from two locations, South Beach (above by me) and the Clay Cliffs (below by John). Cold out there, but you stay as long as it takes to get the shot. Merry Christmas!

The sun was out when I needed it, and set very beautifully. A very good day all around. Hard to pick from all of the photos, but here are the… Read more »
It’s summertime up north! A delightful mix of hot afternoons, icy cold lake water, the Cherry Festival Air Show (which we admired from a boat), rip-roaring t-storms that knocked down trees and took out electricity, and the brilliant sunsets that somehow always follow the storms.
Another day to stay in the shade. The picture taken of Fishtown above was taken at 12:30 p.m. This mornings walk at 8 am was delightful with wind off the lake and temperatures in the 70’s.
A day to stay in the shade.
