A stormy morning on Lake Superior, from warmer times.

One of my favorites from 2023 was this rainbow at the Mackinac Bridge. I was driving back to the troll side and this rainbow appeared. I frantically drove to a few spots, seeking a good vantage point before it was gone. I was grateful to get a few images before it went away.

Colorful rocks are everywhere in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Even underwater in the Hurricane River.

A moody morning on the shore of Lake Superior.

Wishing you all a Happy New Year!

This is from an ice storm we had a few years ago. Today, raining and warm.

One of these days I may stumble upon winter like I did last year at Turnip Rock on Lake Huron. I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas!

A peaceful evening in Grand Haven. Have a great one folks!

Stormy waters but great light on Pt Betsie Lighthouse, along the Lake Michigan shoreline.

Ludington Pier Light. Way before sunrise. Have a great evening!

This tree being lit for the holiday, at Dow Gardens, was a highlight for me. I really liked the way it reflected in the stillness of the creek.

A rising sun creates stunning colors over Shalda Creek on Lake Michigan.

Looking like something from a moonscape, this stump makes an interesting foreground at Silver Lake State Park as light pollution colors the sky.

One of my favorite things to do is make the hike out to Empire Bluffs. The walk was worth it on this particular night.

Vivid colors light the sky over Lake Superior at the mouth of the Hurricane River. Hope you're having a great Sunday!

Late autumn color on the Sleeping Bear Dune shoreline. Have a great evening!

Pieces of wood litter the bottom of Lime Lake in Leelanau County. Discarded from the lumber mill that used to be on the shore of the lake.

Still a few 2024 Calendars left.

One of my winter photos that gets a lot of attention is this one of the Pere Marquette 1225, steaming past the old Carland Elevator as a light snow falls.

The 2024 Calendars are selling fast and I'm down to my last box. If you're interested, see the link in the comment section below. Thanks!

A little bit of golden reflection in the Straits of Mackinac. Have a great evening folks!

Hoping to get a nice shot at Black Rocks in Marquette, I found the whole area in heavy fog. But this view spoke to me. Have a great evening and thanks for your comments and shares!

A little bit of surf at Elliot Falls along the shores of Lake Superior. Have a great evening!

Easily the most stunning sunset I've ever seen at Lake of the Clouds, as viewed from Cloud Peak. Fog started to rise over the tree tops and just kept coming up very quickly and reflected the sun. No saturation was done to this. Incredible evening!

A Ludington sunset illuminates the sky over Lake Michigan as a lone piling juts from the water.

Paradise Point Serenity - A Lake Superior sunset illuminates this rock ledge with neon light.
