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.

Your photos are simply stunning!! I do love them so.
Chestnut horses and the unblemished snow - it's a pinto landscape!
You are so talented. The horses stand out so well against the snow. The picture reminds me so of my grandpa. In his later years, he loved for us to drive him around in the country to see the horses. Thanks for the memories today. Have a quiet, lovely evening.
What a fantastic photo and I bet they are happy to have that nice big round bale of green hay.
Pam
Oh, how we miss living on the horse farms. All my husband's working life he ran the broodmare or stallion divisions of horse farms. We miss the sights, the sounds, the smells and the closeness of this animal. We miss it much.
Thanks for the beauty.
I love to see the beauty of winter through your pictures. Have you been to http://sarasanimalfarm.blogspot.com You can get there from my blog. Sara is going to have 2 colts soon.She has other animals to.

I love horse though I've never ridden one. Great shot. It always amazes me that we have to get all bundled up to prevent hypothermia while the animals need to do nothing.
The contrast of the brown horses against the white background is gorgeous!
