Beached logs make beautiful scenes.

I have taken over 10,000 pictures of the area over the last 5 years and love it more and more when I am on vacation in Empire, Glen Arbor and surrounding areas to see my in-laws. This sunset photo was taken from Empire Beach, Summer 2009

I decided to go bow hunting on the evening of 10/7/09.  I drove to Good Harbor.  I arrived at my deer blind at 4:15 pm.  At 6:00 pm I saw three antlerless deer walk within 50 yards of my blind.  While sitting in my deer blind I can hear the waves of Good Harbor off in the distance.  At 7:30 pm it was too dark hunt.  I packed up and walked out of the woods.  When I finally made my way out of the woods this picture captures what I saw.  When I finally made it back to my car the sunset was gone.

With their rows of colorful fruit piled into green pressed paper quart boxes, Leelanau’s farm markets can be as artistic as the windows of a French patisserie.  And it doesn’t get any more local than this—buying produce from a stand on the property where the food was grown.
