Highlight of the docent-led hike at Houdek Dunes Natural Area. Isn't it wonderful that this area has been set aside for our enjoyment…forever!

I came across this the other day, and thought I'd share it. It was shot from my kitchen window!   This guy casually walked down the path after a while, stood looking out at the lake, yawned and wagged his stub of a tail, then quietly moved off down the hill.  He was back a couple days later, staring at me from the driveway in the front of the house.  I swear he was looking at me both times!

Every time I return from a trip to San Francisco to visit my daughters, I wonder why I left Leelanau. As I come down the hill on Horn Road and look out over the islands, I am filled with awe at the beauty and peacefulness of the scene.
We all must work to keep it that way.
