Sharing the beauty of Northern Michigan.
Welcome!
I love "Up North" and have appointed myself the unofficial travel ambassador for Northern Michigan. There are so many great things to do - visit the State Parks, ski, snowmobile, view elk, see the moose of Isle Royale, hike, kayak, visit a winery, bird watch and so much more. Please join me in my travels.

Love your photo, been there a couple of times and it is lovely.
Pam
Your photos are beautiful. I wish I could wake up to a view like that.
brrrr--looks mighty cold there. It's 70 here today and raining. What a pretty view and I bet an envigorating walk.
We have a Lake Bradford here too! Great photo!
I don't know this lake, but it sure looks like a person could find truth there!
Ahhh! I really like this photo - the water, the snow in the trees, & the clouds - niiice shot!
Beautiful photo. Water looks mighty cold!!
Take care. I have had a really nice time looking around your blog!!
So Pretty and SO COLD looking! Wish you could send us a little snow down to Mississippi for a white Christmas!
I love how you capture the area, I hope I am half a talented as you someday.
Truth is I would like to walk around the lake.
Your lake looks nice and quiet. Are you on a no-motor lake?
Lovely view. Looks windy tho and very cold...good cookie baking weather..umm chocolate chips!!
I love the photo and that quote is very true for me, but I would need snowshoes to get around our pond now..
Beautiful lake--although it looks COLD!!! There are several lakes in our area--and golf courses. We opted to live on a golf course (we don't play golf) for the privacy, but there are some gorgeous homes on the lakes around here. We like to drive around and see the Christmas colors on and along the lakes.
Hugs,
Betsy
What a view. Looks mighty cold though... not that it's a bad thing. :-)
Shelley - the pictures on here over the past several weeks have been beautiful. I wish I could get out more to take the types of pictures that I want to take but with my boys right now it is a bit difficult. In a few years I'll be able to do more of the images that I want to do though.
A walk around the lake,... or a walk in the woods, anytime we are out in nature is good for sorting out our thoughts. But there is always something calming about being near the water. Nice photo,..I'd like to be walking by your lake right now!
Dear Shellmo,
Michigan looks to be very beautiful in the winter. This lake is lovely and looks to be a quiet place to walk. I feel the need to go stretch my legs. No lakes near my house but I do know of a little pond. Thank you for the inspiration.
Happy Christmas.
Sherry
A beautiful winter scene. We haven't had substantial snowfall here yet, so your winter photos give me a taste of what is coming.
