IF YA CAN'T BEAT 'EM......

If ya can't beat 'em, join 'em! Sure I complain about long dreary February days, but I'm stuck here, I might as well do what Michiganders do best ....find things to do while waiting it out!
To the left is a shot of one of my sons, my fishing partner. We decided to spend a Saturday shivering on the banks of the Flint River. Didn't catch any fish but enjoyed the peace of nature in the wildlife preserve at Shiawasee Flats National Wildlife Refuge.....and of course I brought along my trusty photo outfit.

IT'S BEEN A LONG WINTER!

This image, shot with my trusty Nikon digital SLR, is pretty much the theme of this long cold Michigan winter. Is there an end in sight? The telltale footprints in the foreground proceed only into the gloom, their maker not returning with any good news for sure! I'm ready for Spring.
Perhaps it's time to meditate on some of the warmer days of Michigan's vibrant summers, the great fishing, camping, sunrise and sunsets, wildlife .......This has been a long winter
