On a recent visit to an area near South Haven, Michigan I was treated to the beauty that abounds along the shores of Lake Michigan. Enjoy!

What a perfect view of Lake Michigan’s splendor as you begin descending the stairs to the beach!

The coolness of the water offshore created a fog which combined with the beautiful clouds and sun gave a wonderful ethereal feel to this beach view!

I always enjoy looking down at the myriad of stones along any beach. These are some colorful ones seen along my beach walk.

A spectacular and glowing end to the day! Perfect!

Taking in just one last look at the amazing colorful clouds during the final minutes after the sun had set. The beach grass in silhouette really gave this scene an even better feel for me.
These are just a few of my more recent images. I know many of us during this last year have had limited travel and I have been one of them. I’m hoping that this summer will be the start of getting back to a more normal schedule, and also for posting more on this blog.
I wish all of you the very best and I wish you happy travels, enjoyable times with family and friends, and please stay safe.
What a *fabulous* photo gallery! Just one question: in “Heading Down to the Beach”, any thought to cloning out the branches at the top right?
Hi Frank, sorry for the late reply. Lol, all I can say is you know me and branches. I tend to leave them there. 🙂
Such a great area of our state! Beautiful photos Rachel.
I really appreciate that Mark! Michigan has so much to offer and explore, as you know! I cant wait till the weather warms up a bit to get back up to the UP!
You are having a wonderful time.
I was also healed.
Thanks so much Kazumi! Happy New Year to you as well!
