Ah, summer we barely knew ye

September 30, 2009

We didn’t get much of it.  But what we got was lovely.  The water glittered in the sun the other morning when I walked the dogs.   The sky was so blue, the clouds so puffy and high, the pines so fragrant, that my heart lifted. The waves on the Bay rolled in, over and over, […]

Dawn patrol along Grand Traverse Bay

September 3, 2009

20

Now that Indian Summer is here, I am finally able to get up in time to see the dawn.  This is not due to character development on my part, but to the kindly tendency of dawn to sleep in right along with me.  This morning there were great rewards, especially after I went back to […]

August 6, 2009

While I was entombed at the day job catching the merest glimpses of golden evening light, Bruce Laidlaw was strolling the beach in his flip-flops, camera in hand. This morning he sent an email.

Babs wrote that she’s “always a sucker for a good sunset and this one seemed to make the cut.” Well I guess so. I particularly like the cat and the fisherman in the clouds. What, you can’t see them? OK, maybe that’s a guitar, not a fishing pole, but it’s definitely a cat. What I […]

Easter basket

You’ve caught me in a really good mood. Yesterday there was a cache of little presents in my mailbox—my prize from Kathy’s Spring Scavenger Hunt.  It’s a whimsical Up North Easter basket if I’ve ever seen one.  A Lake Superior beach rock (I think it’s a mimetolith – see NW lower Michigan?).  A shell fragment painted with […]
