A fine morning for a walk
Too much to do, too little time. These should hold you for a bit. I’ll come back later and tell you more about them. Oh-if you click on the picture you can see it at a decent size.
Baytime Drama
July 21, 2008
Our Babs collects sunsets, and where better to go looking for fine ones than on Grand Traverse Bay? I especially like the way she’s captured clouds reflected in pools among the boulders. Every week photographer Babs Young captures moments in northern Michigan, and every week she sends one to Torch Lake Views just for you. […]

January 30, 2008

On Monday morning it was far too pretty to sit inside. Off we went in the sunshine, walking through unspoiled snow under blue skies. Overnight it just kept getting warmer. By Tuesday morning the roads […]
