Hawk Time Is Here Again

Yes, it's that time of year. Hawks seem to be everywhere -- on fenceposts, in treetops, and in the air. They are easier to spot than to catch on camera, but once in a while one cooperates long enough to be, as it were, captured. In pixels, that is. Doesn't this bird's tail look like the train of a royal robe?

Cool and Refreshing

Great Lakes or, as here, smaller inland lakes: no salt, no sharks, no worries!

We Have Sunsets, Too!

My friends with waterfront homes frequently post gorgeous photos of sunsets over Lake Michigan. We don't have their sweeping views from our old farmhouse behind the hill, but the sky can be lovely, nevertheless.
