Beaver Island Michigan

Well, I guess I will just have to do it myself. You know, It is the physical actions that we choose to do everyday that can make our little place in the world better to live in. Whether it is just an act of kindness to a stranger, or fixing something that needs fixing, we have the ability to choose...

Great photos! Thanks for posting them for those of us who missed the parade. Looking forward to seeing the rest of them.... Thank you Janine. Alice and I had a fun time out there for the week.

In 1996 I leased a nearly 40,000. dollar truck to haul and plow with and I was always stunned by my own inane stupidity with which I could have just as easily plowed with a 5,000. dollar truck and hauled with one of my dump trucks.................................a method we use today! I paid 4.75 t...

Thank you Janine. I had a lot of fun taking these and glad you liked them. Always a fun time for me when I wander around shooting pictures

Thank you Jeff, Alice and I always enjoy your wonderful pictures and news in the Beacon. You put a lot of effort into it and it shows. The iceboat pictures you liked were taken at the DN Class finals on Elk Lake. The lake had just frozen over a couple days before and it was as good as it gets for ic...

Thank you Super Megan, the time spent on BI is always enjoyable with lots of things to see.

I haven't really had time to check into the Museum Week Art Show but may do so in the future. I take these for my enjoyment enabling me to get outside and see things I wouldn't usually look for. Always glad to share them with others to enjoy.

Thank you for the nice comment.

These were taken with a Canon Mark IIN with interchangeable lens. I have used it for several years now and think it will last a few more. Not a point and shoot though.

We visit the island every summer and take a few pictures. I have tried to upload them to the web with no success so here is a link to my gallery if anyone is interested. I posted a few shots of the famous water shooters in last years parade.
