A lake is the landscape's most beautiful and expressive feature. It is earth's eye; looking into which the beholder measures the depth of his own nature.
~Henry David Thoreau

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 pretty photo Shelley. The water looks so clear. Will you be going to the cabin this weekend?
Shelley---Neat lake photo. Where is that lake??? Is that 'your' lake at the log cabin??? Are you going there this weekend --to see the LOONS?
Hugs,
Betsy
Hello Shelley,
Nice pic of the lake. Denise is at the cabin until Monday. We are hoping to see you guys at the Kirtland's warbler festival on Saturday. Give Denise a call at the cabin.

I wish I could find a bird book with both male and female to gather. Do you know of one? I know I miss a lot not knowing what some females look like.

Shellmo-your blog brings back fantastic memories of my winter skiing, a little fall hunting and lots of summer water and party fun growing up in Michigan.
Your photo's are outstanding.
Michigan -great lakes -great times. Grand Haven, Saugatuck, Traverse City, Petoskey, Lake Chalevoix, Big Bear Island, Mackinac Insland, Drummond Island.
L.O.L. Now if I could just listen to some 60's music on your Blog I'd be in Heaven. :}
Many years ago I needed to move to that state south of Michigan.
Thanks for the photo's & memories-Bill
Is this picture taken close to your home? Beautiful.
Nice! I'm feelin' it.
Fantastic picture and a great quote. Have a good weekend!!!
Beautiful picture.

Beautiful photo.

Water, whether a lake, river, or little brook always seems to bring peace and contentment to my soul. Your photo worked too!
Such a perfect view, with just a few light ripples coming to the shore.
Shelley,
What a gorgeous photo. It never ceases to amaze me how clear the waters of Michigan lakes are.
Nice!
No wonder you want to get into your kayak and go exploring!
Can't wait to see bright green leaves on those trees1
We had SNOW in the air this morning. Sheesh!
He said it perfectly. Beautiful photo, too.
