A Brilliant, Beautiful Fall.....

When I was very young...
I remember my mom reading to me one of her favorite poems...

Trees
by Joyce Kilmer


My favorite verse..
"A tree that looks at God all day,
And lifts her leafy arms to pray.

Thank God we have trees and moms to
to watch over us.



Thank you for stopping by...
Enjoy your day.

Frozen playground....

There is something very magical
about walking on top
of a frozen lake.

For a brief moment...
we look back at the shore and laugh
at the boats.

They have no power over where we go today.
They are banished to the shore....
to dream of warmer days.

For a brief moment...
We play upon this forbidden field...
 of frozen water.

It really is a magical place...

Morning journey......

Do you ever wake up in the morning
wishing.... 
you could magically transport 
to another place....
A place that has a hold on 
your heart?
Come with me...
I am 'traveling' to 
such a place...


All aboard the Arnold ferry...



Approaching the Mackinac Island harbor..



Where bicycles await...






Inviting porches beckon visitors to step aside...
...come and sit for a while...








Still with us?  There is more to see....






As the day unwinds....take a moment to relax...



And enjoy the tranquility....







As evening descends...



...and the day becomes a 
treasured memory.

Art on the Grand...





Our city has a new sense of energy.  Energy generated by art...
And lots of art!
Artists from all over the country put their
works on display around the city.
It sure makes for an interesting Sunday stroll.
Come along and I will show you some of the things we saw today.



A giant easel...at times the artist will stand atop the platform at the very top of his easel.






Our very own 'Nessie' monster...complete with sound effects.



Table set for two...












We have a beautiful skyline...fun places to walk, shop and eat.
And Art...lots and lots of Art!






If you haven't been to our city...you will have to come visit.
