Babs Young sent us this peaceful, almost dreamy photo. She wrote, It’s not a regatta, but it is a hard water sailor on the north end of Torch Lake. Dunno, Babs. Iceboaters are pretty fierce. I’ll bet this one was draped in icepicks and trailing a muskie. Pretty scenery, though . . .
Every week photographer Babs Young captures moments in northern Michigan, and every week she sends one—and sometimes more than 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, 2007 and 2008.

It’s unreal for me. I got prickly heat at work today.

What a gorgeous picture! The sun, the lake and the ice boater are all magnificent (we don’t have ice boaters around here in the U.P. that I’ve seen…) I love how you highlight so many people from your township.

Thanks, Kathy. The best part of having this blog is sharing the wonderful stories people bring me. It’s lovely to have talented contributors – dresses up the place quite a bit, doesn’t it!
