Sometimes when you see the obvious you miss an opportunity to experience something unexpected There are many things to be experienced in Northern Michigan (especially the U.P.) I like to take a left hand turn instead of a right (Me and GPS have periodic battles) because the road is unfamiliar and can lead to a new discovery.

The cold skies of December and a blanket of snow on the ground have diminished the warmth of the Sun. The Sun, normally loud and brash; is now timid as it hides behind the grey curtain of a late December afternoon while trying to embrace its own warmth.

The things we see (or don't) can be so intriguing.
