Forget winter for a moment.

Winter has its charm, but a little bit can sometimes go a long way, so why not ignore it for a moment and think about the reward of warmer weather and how nature appreciates the change with its own "Thank You."

Iced.

Winter has a way of creating things other than frost-bite and blizzards-
Sometimes it retreats with a freezing breath and leaves remnants of its icy grip on the landscape.

"toddities."

12/30/2021

 

When Traveling I will stop driving or turn around and go see anything that captures my attention. As the saying goes: 'If it's odd, it's for Todd'. (aka: a "Toddity" as someone once said.) I have always been attracted to unusual things, and if it happens to be a roadside attraction of some type I have to go see it, and it doesn't have to be a yellow dinosaur, or a pink elephant.

Winter's Cold light

12/28/2021

 
Winter has cast its cold light onto the lighthouses, but they remain vigilant. Cold winds come running in from Lake Huron like invisible horses, but you don't realize you've been hit until after they pass through you. Lake Michigan winter winds are blunt and when they hit you, the punch is immediate, and you know you've been hit. I tell my friends that Lake Michigan is a moody bitch. It forces you to love her. Lake Huron lulls you in and captures you. Its magical personality captures you before you realize it. (You can decide if you prefer the good witch or the bad witch.)

An Enchanting Bathroom? Bear Tracks, Magical Sunsets...

12/18/2021

 
I walked into a second-floor bathroom in a Lighthouse and was taken by surprise by its charm, it was more like enchantment...from a bathroom? Odd, but true. I eventually made my way outside and headed toward the beach and discovered some fairly recent Bear tracks and followed them to the edge of the remnants of a shipwreck (the Joseph S Fay.) The beach and the lighthouse in this area along the Lake Huron shoreline are interconnected to an abundance of maritime history as well as meandering bears.

Nona & The Nuns. A buried boat, and...Shayla!

11/28/2021

 
You never know what you'll discover along a beach. Nona was my faithful four-legged beach explorer. One time we discovered a turtle that was on its back and had lost most of its color. It could barely move, so i picked her up, and set her close to the waters edge and (Yes, I named the turtle) Shayla began to regain her beautiful subtle turquoise  coloring. She eventually wandered into the surf and hopefully made it back home. A few days later we encountered Nuns on the beach. I asked to take their picture and they obliged. They told me they were from Miami and that this was the most beautiful beach they've ever visited.  (There's a short video of Nona exploring the beach-click the middle picture on top.)

Flowers have magic.
​They are a sensual delight, and have the ability to speak with an invisible, but scented voice that can capture anyone's attention.

The trails of Huron.

10/28/2021

 
New Presque Isle Lighthouse was built in 1870 and is the tallest lighthouse on the Great lakes. Nearby, there are several trails that hug the Lake Huron shoreline and offer a very serene environment to explore which allows for amazing opportunities to become acquainted with nature. You're enabled with the ability to experience an area that is so beautiful that it's intoxicating. Mother Nature has brewed a powerful spell.

Kalamazoo Lighthouse (Replica), Doulgas Michigan.

9/27/2021

 

There was a town in West Michigan known as Singapore and it was a thriving lumber-town that had it's own currency, but once the trees were depleted 'Singapore' not only burned down, it became a ghost town and was eventually engulfed by the sand dunes. I had always referred to this little lighthouse as Singapore Lighthouse until I found the following information which explains (in great detail) about its history.

The Lighthouse has a Tugboat that is moored to its deck, but before the Tugboat was docked, it was stuck in mud/muck in the Kalamazoo (Lake) River. It became both a local attraction for people and, Seagulls. The Seagulls used it as a roost and well, let's just say it became covered in "Seagull Paint." (click here for more information about the Tugboat)

    The Dormant Dunes
    The dormant dunes. This is in an area north of Oval Beach. Most people do not go to this area because the trails disappear, and there are a lot of bogs. You can easily be knee deep in muck if you don't know where to walk.
