Morning Has Broken

It is 6:10 a.m. I walked outside to take pictures of the morning sunrise for you. The air is calm and crisp like autumn. The deep peachy hues of sunrise are just beginning to break across the sky. A freighter is slipping quietly under the bridge.Take a glimpse and enjoy the morning with me.

A Piece Of History?

While walking on the beach of Lake Michigan, I spotted this chunk of cement. The wording on this chunk made me wonder if it had anything to do with the building of the Mackinac Bridge. What are your thoughts? 

August Sunset on Lake Michigan

The mid August evening was breezy and cool. I went for a drive by McGulpin Point Lighthouse and decided to drive onto the beach of Lake Michigan.The sunset was beautiful and I promised you that when I saw a beautiful sunset I'd post it. So here it is. I hope you enjoy it! 

 

 

 

Serene Moment

 Serenity. That is what we all need at the end of the day. I hope this picture brings some peaceful thoughts to the end of your day.

What About The Sunsets?

I know there are a lot of you that enjoy seeing photos of the sunset and are probably wondering why I haven't put any sunsets on the blog. Well, there is a simple explanation for this...there haven't been any. The entire month of July there was not a beautiful sunset. So far August hasn't looked any better. I am still holding out hope that I will get at least one beautiful sunset for you. When I do you will see the photos here.

Driving the Mighty Mac

I used to be terrified of crossing the bridge, let alone drive across it. My then small children used to sing the theme of The Twilight Zone as we crossed the bridge just to add a little more terror for me.I would hold on to Lynn's arm so tight that he would have my nail prints in his arm by the time we made it across. Now I drive it...no problem. I had a total change of heart. I figure that there are thousands and thousands of people who drive across every year and nothing happens. I also decided that if something did happen to me (not very likely) that the almost 200 foot fall would kill me anyway, so why not enjoy the ride. For all of you who are not overly fond of the crossing, I have some therapy for you. For all of you who just want to be on the bridge I have a ride for you. I strapped my camera around my neck, set the camera on the center of my steering wheel and snapped away. The free therapy I'm offering to those of you who would like to enjoy crossing the bridge, is that you play this blog over and over until you feel comfortable. For all of you bridge lovers,I hope you enjoy the ride. 
I'm heading to St Ignace and approaching the south tower.

I'm almost under the south tower and the north tower is visible.

 

I'm in the center of the bridge. How are you doing? You have made it this far... don't give up! 

 We are now about to drive under the north tower. We're almost to the toll booth. Hang on!

Toll booth is in sight. You made it!

 

I sure hope all of you enjoyed the trip across the Mighty Mac. I finally do!

Chipmunk Games

I finally caught them. I have several pictures of the parking lot, bushes and the favorite, the drive way. I looked out the lobby window and saw Alvin and Clarisse scampering everywhere. I took out my camera and set it on sport action. Snapped a picture and here it is for you.

The Laundry Room Visitor

We leave the laundry room door open to make it easier to bring in the laundry. I was standing hip high in laundry yesterday, when I caught some movement in the doorway. I looked out the door and didn't see anything. Then a few moments later, a seagull walked into the laundry room. It looked at the pile of laundry and then at me. I made eye contact with the gull . The expression on the seagull's face seemed to be saying"Sorry, I don't do laundry". The gull abruptly turned around and left. Imagine that!
