Same Morning, Two Views

Above is a "full-strength" edition of the view Gerry liked on my other blog, a photograph taken yesterday morning. Below is another view from the same morning, taken just a mile or two inland.

He's Got It Covered (True for Both)

See the "No Tresspassing" sign? Who would dare?


I wouldn't disturb this beauty, either.

Forest Fog (Fixed)

Small change, big difference. See original below for comparison.

Afterglow

Mari Lee Raphael writes: "Happy Super harvest moon, which has not occurred for 20 years, and will likely not reappear until 2029. When a full moon, and the fall equinox happen together, sky-watchers are treated to a sort of 360-degree twilight glow effect that is rarely visible."

Thanks for sharing that, Mari. The moon was lovely, but the glow was fabulous.

Is It Italy? No, It's Leelanau!

Circa Estate Winery on Horn Road offers excellent wines and elegant ambience. David Grath will be having a one-man show of new paintings at Circa opening on Sunday, October 3. The work will remain up through the month.

Battered But Clinging to Life

As I upload this photo taken two days ago on the beach at Peterson Park, I'm looking out (from the marina parking lot in Northport) at whitecaps and breakers on wind-tossed Grand Traverse Bay. What must Lake Michigan be like this morning? How far did my little six-legged fellow traveler get? All I know for sure is that on Tuesday he or she was clinging fiercely to life.

Upper Peninsula Preview

Up close and personal or looking off to distant horizons, Michigan's Upper Peninsula overflows with natural beauty.

Looking north from the corner of Jelinek and Kovarik roads.

From the inside--



And from the outside--


Glory to the morning!
