Babs has been scouting the northern borderlands, and brought back undercover surveillance of the Charlevoix Armada. OK she went to East Park for the day and took some pictures of sailboats. My version’s more fun. I like my swash buckled.
I like the painterly drape of the sail in the foreground – Babs, did you sneak over there and do a little artful arranging before capturing this image? She’s not admitting anything. Her only comment was “Maybe the park will photograph better on August 9 when the Waterfront Art Fair celebrates it’s 50th year.” Notice how she sneaked that promotion of the Art Fair onto Torch Lake Views? That Babs.
Every week photographer Babs Young captures moments in northern Michigan, and every week she sends one to Torch Lake Views just for you. You can find more of her photos by following the Babs Young Photos link in the Categories list over in the right column, or by going to her Michigan Pictures Archives: 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007.

” I like my swash buckled.”
– Gosh I love that phrase.
This was a great way to start my morning – I have always liked yachts. 🙂
