On Friday Babs and Betty Jo and I headed over to Leland. It was an expedition, as it takes almost an hour and a half to get down our side of the Bay and back up the other side on the Leelanau Peninsula. We had a good dinner together at the Bluebird, then wandered off in separate directions. Betty Jo and I headed to a benefit performance of The Story Next Door with Scott Craig and Friends at the Old Art Building. While we were inside engrossed in the stories of ten local lives, told in music and dance and images and readings, Babs was in Fishtown with her camera, adding to her sunset collection. Fortunately, she shares.
I long to explore that path. I’m just sure there are wonderful discoveries waiting there.
I believe I’ve mentioned before that a person can never have too many sunsets. I’m of the same opinion with regard to stories. Babs has been filling up her Flickr site with more sunsets from the Leland Expedition—and fishing boats, as is proper. I’m off to the Township Hall to hear more stories. I’ll share too.

Babs surely has something in her eye. It is not for anyone to catch the impression of a colorful sunset so it looks like “the real thing”.
While waiting for stories from the expedition, I’ll enjoy the sunset, and imagine the feeling of sitting there with someone close.

My first thought-response to the stimulus of your headline was “Vacation days!” Second: “Petoskey stones!” Third: “Agates!” Sunsets and stories are right up there, too, of course. Impossible to rank-order all the good things of life.

On the last day of our life, we’ll probably be saying, “Never too many sunsets.” This is a magnificent photo. The path looks magical. Hope you find a special day to follow it, Gerry.

Well, that’s just lovely. And it’s one photo I won’t be using as a desktop. Can you imagine the google log over that beautiful sky? Too horrible!

Thanks for all the nice comments – sorry it takes so long to get them moderated. We have achieved new lows in the Slooooow dialup arena. Must . . . go . . . to . . . library. Love, Gerry

It’s impossible to have too many sunrises as well 😉

You are absolutely correct, and you prove it with all those fine sunrises over the Salt Marsh, every one different.

I also love your hot dogs at JRAC. I think they might qualify as inchies, beloved of TLV readers.
