I have taken over 10,000 pics of the area over the last 5 yrs and love it more and more when I am on vacation in Empire, Glen Arbor and surrounding areas to see In-Laws. Here are some of my pics and hope you enjoy them as much as I love taking them.

Each visit to South Manitou Island leaves me with a different impression. This year conditions and our timing (late July) were perfect for a colorful display of flowers along the roads and at this farm.
