Good Morning, Leelanau!

For many who live or visit Leelanau County, 

Lake Michigan is its most important feature.

The clean beaches (smaller this year),

the vast waters.

My Leelanau focus is smaller

and more inland-looking.

It is animal tracks on a dusty back road

and drops of dew on the seedbeds of grasses.

Look Familiar?

While others were looking at and into the hole, I was admiring the shadows on the sidewalk.

Not a giant "champion" tree, 

but you can tell it's been around a while.

It is stunning in every season.
