Even though the official end to summer isn't for another couple weeks, Labor Day signifies the unofficial end. I visited the beaches and parks in both Traverse City and Empire to see how people were enjoying the waning days of summer.
Cruising the bay on a tall ship...
Dog walking and water-watching...
Sailing a huge catamaran...
Biking the many trails....
Kayaking...
Playing beach volleyball...
And just plain relaxing. I ended my afternoon of photography in Empire, hoping to catch the sunset. But there were no parking spaces and the sun was becoming obscured by a low cloud cover. I went into a nearby neighborhood to turn around and found this young deer relaxing under a fruit tree. Wonder what she thought about summer's end.
Great minds think alike...Very nice post and pictures.
