We happened to plan our trip on very icky weather days (we drove through rain, hail and SNOW!) so there wasn't a lot of beach time. But we did pull over to a roadside park so Lil and I could trek down to stick our toes in the Lake Huron. Well, so I could trek down. Lil waited at the edge of the beach, protected by the trees from the rain. Our beach also had this very cool cliff sand dune and little stream. If you click on the picture to make it bigger, you can see raindrops in the water!
Next up was the Point Aux Barques Lighthouse. I think it's French for 'point of little boats' which is actually pronounceable so that's what I called it. It's one of the oldest lighthouses in Michigan and it's still active today. It was too early in the season for it to be open to the public, but we did walk around (in the rain) outside and get pictures. I don't know why I like this shot that's shrouded by the trees the best, but I do!
I'm a city girl. I loved looking at all the fields with the itty bitty plants growing. It just seemed so pretty with the black dirt and the green lines. I'm sure any farmer who saw me standing out taking shots of their field thought I was weird. My mother, with her farming background sure did! But whatever, still pretty!
Finally, wind turbines! There are five turbines in the front of this shot, but if you click on it to make it bigger you can see seven more in the background. I love turbines! They are so alien looking in the fields, like huge toys plopped down in the grass but they stand all white and majestic and then they magically pull power right out of the sky. Yeah, I know, I'm a bit weird about them. I would totally have one in my backyard if I could!
