An easy day
|
An easy day Yesterday we hiked further than usual, at Al Sabo. it's hard to tell, on the meandering paths. As the crow files it was only a couple of miles out and a couple back, but the path wanders around a lot, so who knows? Four or five miles, maybe. Maybe less. Anyway, it wore us out, and even Gracie was tired. It was a gloomy drizzly day. So we took it easy today and did a circuit around the prairie at Asylum Lake. It was sunny and warm- fifty degrees. We met a buddy of Gracie's, Jaeger, a yellow Lab. They were very happy to see each other. It only takes forty minutes to do the loop, and we took nearly an hour. I like screwing around and taking time to look at stuff, and take pictures. And one picture of the South Haven Light, just because I love the photo. I didn't take it, but I wanted to share it.         Become a member now and get a free tote bag. |

I think it was a local who took that picture, and if I'm not mistaken won a prize for it. I used to have a large print of it, but I didn't get custody of it in the divorce. I agree, it's a marvelous shot. I wish I had done one like it. Maybe this winter I'll try- if it ever gets cold! Become a member now and get a free tote bag.

It was supposed to rain here, so the sunshine was all bonus. The forecast is for falling temperatures and snow Christmas morning. What kind of beer do you like best? Become a member now and get a free tote bag.

Gracie gets impatient with me. There's a lot to see if you take the time to look for it. She feels the same way about the smells. She's OK with dawdling when there's an interesting scent! She got her first bath ever last week after discovering a really captivating aroma. I think it was raccoon shit! Beauty is after all in the eye, or nose, of the beholder. Like vandals, we washed off the scent. Become a member now and get a free tote bag.

Me too! If it was a platonic relationship, that is. I get a feed on AssPlace- Lake Superior Photo- that makes up for all the AssPlace social networking every opinion is valuable blah blah blah. I might try getting some lighthouse photos this winter, if we ever have winter. The walk out to that light is plenty majestic in summer. The beach and the pier are crowded with visual delights. if you were to google Lake Michigan Lighthouses, there's no telling what you might find. Become a member now and get a free tote bag.

It would suck to be the lighthouse keeper if they still had to man that one. Trapped inside till spring. LOL! Become a member now and get a free tote bag.

Those pictures are excellent and that last one just blows me away... WOW! Not many things can still induce me to say that. I'm delighted that Gracie got to meet up with Jaeger, it's wonderful when animals have other friends of their own species. Become a member now and get a free tote bag.

Those blue grey pods are milkweed seed pods. The seeds have flown away in the wind. [image] Become a member now and get a free tote bag.

Love the empty milkweed pods! Winter pictures are some of my favorite... they look so bleak at the first glance but then the detail and beauty just pops!!!

There are tricks to it that I have yet to learn, that's a fact! I know how to stay warm and dry, but handling the camera and keeping it clean and the lens clear takes some brain cells that I am apparently missing- but I'm learning. I've worked in the cold weather all my life- now I've got some time to play in it and the fun is coming back. Become a member now and get a free tote bag.

The stark beauty of winter you capture in your photos is incredible! Hopefully you'll have one cold spell where it's cold enough to get some good photos of the light house encased in ice. After that, the groundhog can forgo seeing his shadow so we can have an early spring.

Thanks- it IS pretty. Michigan has the same useless crap other places do, like ugly shopping strips and car lots and there's plenty of post industrial decay, too, but West Michigan is rolling and hilly. If you stay away from the Detroit metro area you can find some wild country. I figure I'm pretty lucky to have Gracie. Become a member now and get a free tote bag.
