The Canadian wildfires have dimmed our sunny days to hazy gray-browns. And cast a pall over some of my photography, too. Undeterred, I headed to the Lakeshore with friends Don and Diana Burton to share another backroads adventure. I introduced them to Thoreson Road with its rolling meadows, historic farms, and abundant plein air painters capturing the scenery. We all agreed that the jewel of Thoreson was the secluded beach off Sunset Trail. Several pathways led to the beach, but we chose one with stairs. Even though it was Saturday in high summer, the beach was nearly empty with lots of room to roam the fine sugar sand. The smoke occluded many of the lake views. Sleeping Bear Point was barely visible across the bay. Still, we spent a peaceful morning enjoying the water as we walked the beautiful beach.
My secret beach. No secret now. But astonishing anyway.
ReplyDeleteIt's really off the beaten path, so I doubt it will get a lot of attention.
