Sleeping Bear Reopens to Sunshine and Awesome Clouds

While I'd hoped to see some good color on my trip down M-22 to Sleeping Bear, the colors weren't as vibrant as we are currently seeing in Northport.  Perhaps there aren't the number of maples as we have here, or perhaps being so close to the Lake, peak color season is yet to come.  Still, sunshine, cerulean skies and amazing cloud formations made the trip "down south" very worthwhile.

  1. The clouds more than made up for the softer colors, Karen. Those dark cloud shadows on the rippled surface of Lake Michigan work for me!

  4. Thanks for your visit, Jan. It was fun to have some sunshine, blue skies, and pretty clouds as a change of pace from the wet weather we'd been experiencing (and still are). Karen

  5. I came back again, and today it's the barn I like best. Maybe the water makes me feel too cold on this chilly, windy day. :)

  6. Thanks, Pamela. What goes into our likes and dislikes can change day to day. Whether it be the cold windy day that draws you to the barn, or the bright red of the cannery building that it drawing me today, our tastes do change. Karen
