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.

What a cool photo. You have such an amazing talent. As far as the mushrooms go, we had the rain last week but it didn't warm up. Now up here it's way too dry. We may get rain tonight or tomorrow.
Pam
If I could remember that each day,but as I work on my ancestry The Bennie said I live to much in the past.I think about it all of the time. And I read to many books about the past. I like the little chipmunk. Have not seen any here. Did you hear about those White Deer that live in you State?
Patsy
Shelley, cute photo :) Keep livin' for the moment! :)
there's this little chipmunk, munching on some pumpkin seeds while typing this, that says "thanks for the follow!"
PS. Keep the comment moderation on, it's not worth the trouble! your readers will understand:)
aren't chipmunks just the best little woodland buddies? You got a great shot of this one!
I love that quote; so touching.
Is that Chip or is it Dale?
I think chipmunks are the cutest things to watch! This is a precious photo Shelley.
these colors are perfect!
Such a cute little guy and you caught him in such wonderful light!!
Oh sure. He looks cute. But the little bugger has been eating all of my birdseed.
:-D
Perfect quote! And what a cute little chipmunk. How is the weather up by you? Finally warming up? Looks like it must be warm enough to enjoy your kayak.
I've never seen a chipmunk supressing a giggle before (but I suspected they did) Great capture, as always!
Awww he's a cuuute lil guy! How close was you when you took his pic?
Well Hello sweet chipper! A beauty for sure with the sunshine reflecting from it's fur!!Great image!! My kind of image..love our little visitors!
Great shots, really cute.
John.
Pam - you are too sweet!! I meant to ask you, are you going to be at one of the Gaylord's Art & Craft show this summer with your baskets? The one they're having 1 Saturday per month? The 1st one is June 6. I'm going to be there w/ my photos and gift stuff. I hope you are able to find lots of good mushrooms!
Benny & Patsy - I like reminsce too! And I did hear about those albino deer - I think they're in Grayling - 15 miles south of us.
Nature Lovin - I wish all my moments were up north! :-)
jeannette - you're right about that comment moderation - I've been burned so many times! Love your blog by the way!
Cedar - this guy has made our property his home. I love investigating his little holes and watching him chirp on top of the woodpile to announce to everybody that this is his territory. :)
Busy Bee - it might be Alvin. He was kind of loud! :)
Mildred - I think they're cute too! Last summer I was feeding them out of my hand.
Darla - thank you!
Tina - he's the loudest & most active in the morning! :-0
Retired One - I gave this one his own feeder as a bribe.
Ashley - it's been in the 60's. Still a little cool if I tip in the kayak - LOL!
Deborah - they are humorous little things arent' they? :)
Tricia - I was on the deck above. I cropped this to bring him closer.
Nature Girl - they are one of my favorite "neighbors"!
JR and Sue - thanks so much! Glad you stopped by!
Isn't he adorable? We have a ground squirrel living in a bush by my front door. It's kind of an odd place - I don't know why he picked there!
I saw the log cabin bird houses! Those would be so cute at your cabin! SHOW ME!!!! (hehehe)
Oh this is precious, Shelley! We have lots of little Chippers on our property, but they're way more skittish than the squirrels, so I can't get quite as close with my camera!
What a beautiful little "Chippie" you have captured here! Great colors and light! Awesome photo, Shelley!
hi I love all the pictures. the squirrel is adorable. I love owls.tulips and daisies are among my favorite flowers along with lilacs. Have a really great day. Hugs
