Back from Northern Michigan - Sleeping Bear Dunes and Great Lakes Ore Carrier (and a picture of Mom at 94)
May 13, 2015 10:46:09 #
This is a quintessential view of Lake Michigan from an overlook in the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore - sand dunes and an ore carrier. Compositionally, I wish I'd arrived at the overlook a few minutes earlier to catch the ore carrier further back on its track ...... as it is, I just had enough time to compose one shot and capture the vessel while it was still in view.
We celebrated Mom's 94th birthday with dinner out, then cake and ice cream later at home. She is doing VERY well. Unfortunately the elder of my two younger sisters did not fare so well. She is the UHH Photographer "Civona" and we had great plans to shoot together for a few days, but she got waylaid for 48 hours. The good news is that she recovered nicely, but we both have to shoot solo for some time to come.

I'll bet it was cold up there! It's great that your mom can still do all that stuff!

Just let me know when. I would be more than happy to meet you in person. I would love to have the opportunity to go out shooting with you.

Thank you Paula. I think we all have parts of the country that just call out our names with a siren call that can't be resisted. Northern Michigan does that for me. I get it from my Mom. After all, she's lived there for the last 38 years.What a beautiful place Bob! And love the photo of your Mom. She looks great.

Congrats to your mom for her birthday! And a nice shot of her, too.
The ore carrier on the lake is really nice, great detail. In fact, so much so that I can see the captain waving to you! ; )
