The sky over Lake Michigan was magnificent yesterday during our weekly ride around Pere Marquette ovals in Muskegon.
September Morning
Lowell, MI
God is good! Out of the blue He leads me to a photo-op.
Usually this happens when I change my plans on a whim. This time I walked out the door planning to take my usual morning walk in the woods but I forgot to put on mosquito spray, (they were buzzing around me), so I decided instead I’d get in the car and go for a ride with my camera. I only rode around the block and even that was on a whim. I was going to go a different route but a car coming up behind me made me decide to turn to get out of it’s way.
I saw how pretty the sunlight looked streaming through the trees so I pulled off on the shoulder of the road to capture a picture of it. The biker startled me a little when he silently came up from behind and whizzed past as I was getting out of the car with my camera. The timing was perfect!
Thank you Lord! (and biker)
Fawn Visit part 2
The two fawn (and their mama) visited again. I spotted them out back late this morning.
Kookaburra
I call our resident male cardinal(s) Kookaburra, not because of their “laugh” (thank heavens.. have you ever heard a real Kookaburra?) but because he truly is the king of his territory. I’ve watched epic battles between the males fighting for the front yard feeder. When he wins a battle he perches high on his favorite branch and sings his victory song.
I guess the loser got the back yard territory.
Photos from Rebel Road / Muskegon Bike Time 2018
Not the typical event photos, but instead glimpses from a casual observer. These images were captured Saturday July 22 after 5pm. Maybe you’ll find someone you know.

Fawn Visit
First thing this morning I saw two fawn out my kitchen windows doing what I had set out to do.. get some food.

Bidding Spring a Farewell!
Summertime begins

Yellow
A yellow tree and wind sail breaks the gloom of a cloudy day at Pere Marquette.
Good light would make these photographs more interesting. What can I say?! Nearly every time I’m at this beach (taking my mom for a ride) it’s mid day, so even on sunny days the light is not great during the time I’m here.

Flowers of June (so far)
Daisy foliage (top right) is just anticipation.
I wish I could bottle the scent of that peony.
From top left: Peony bud (about to open), Daisy foliage, Rose, Lady Slippers (a native and protected wildflower), Heirloom Iris, White Spiderwort, Purple Spiderwort.
