Photos of Michigan
This summer I took a trip home to visit friends and family and I was able to snap a few great photos along the way! I love the mitten. Seriously.
The first photo was taken from a pontoon boat on Silver Lake. There is also a great view from on top of the dune. If you don’t feel like making the hike just hop on a dune schooner!
Looking out from the cottage on Lake Michigan. Relax, take a load off…
And enjoy the view! The weather in Michigan is perfect, not sweltering hot but definitely warm enough for shorts in the evening. (Although now that I am a Florida resident for most of the year, a long-sleeve shirt became a nightly necessity for me.)
Watch out for the dune grass – this stuff is fun to photograph, but not to step on!
Lydia enjoys long walks, picnics, and bonfires on the beach. (Well, wouldn’t you?!)
The many cottages of the Little Point Sable Association are nestled into the woods along Lake Michigan’s coast. A perfect place for a peaceful stroll.
The Grand Haven Pier makes for a great walk too. And hopefully a bountiful, fresh catch!
Pier Jumping. Ahh the memories! I’m glad to see this group of local teens keeping the tradition alive. You can find good pier jumping in any one of West Michigan’s water towns.
Cowabunga Dude!
My last night in Michigan was spent visiting college friends. I was pleasantly surprised with this gorgeous scene along my route. Icing on the cake.
And of course, the greatness of a Lake Michigan sunset. Home in Michigan is definitely where my heart is.
