I enjoy some quiet time. That 1st shot so says it all for me, give me a book and I am set. Just to get away and just zone out. Get away from the noise the phones and all that jazz. We did some kayaking ...it was a gorgeous area to row around. I love finding a moment like that when my hubby is kayaking and the sunset is just right and zap that photo!!! We actually made the point to take 2 different kayakin' trip that day. It was such a great water day. Hope you are well today. Take Care. Thank you for stopping by today. Be Well & Be Blessed!!

New Presque Isle Lighthouse, Michigan

Image
Had to do a bit of some research there are 3 different lighthouses with similar names, just so you know this is: New Presque Isle Lighthouse, Michigan. I recall now when doing this research that the hubby did say that there were several with the same name, made at different times and only this 1 was easy enough at the season to get close enough, if I am thinking of the right lighthouse, 1 you have to do some off-roading to even see it up close, I think some real walking too ... this is the New one. Built in 1870, east of the Grand Lake, sits on the namesake peninsula. it is one of the 149 lighthouses in Michigan. Can you imagine, that many lighthouses, I gotta go see what Virginia has??! I can not imagine that mean. Michigan is just too cool!!! 4500 E Grand Lake Road, Presque Isle, MI 49777, height: 108', (989) 595-9917. What was super cool about the internet while finding all these tidbits ... there is a 360 (or is it 460 view, any who??! I think you know what I mean.) view i...

South Higgins Lake State Park, Michigan, These were great waters to kayak in ... so crisp and clear.

Silent Night Memorial Chapel, Michigan

Image
While visiting the Bronner's Christmas Wonderland in Frankmuth, Michigan, I'll share that post on Tuesday, Please do check it out, so fun!!! ...we walked a bit over from the store to visit this beautiful. A plaque outside the building it says this note here: "Wally & Irene Bronner and Family are grateful to the City Government and Visitor's Bureau of Oberndorf, Austria for granting permission to erect in Frankenmuth, Michigan a replica of the original Silent Night Memorial Chapel" What a beauty. Inside is encased by glass, so hopefully that shadow doesn't take away from the inside beauty, kind of difficult to get some shots through glass, but a photographer like me does what she has to do, LOL!! I was not the only person snapping shots. Such a cutie. Very cute!!! Next week I'll share some the stain glass windows. I am happy to be able to share a church again ...I have not had any in so long ... I have so much missed visiting all yo...

Matagorda Bay Nature Park, Texas

Hey there folks!!! Matagorda Bay Nature Park, Matagorda, Texas, I just love typing that word over and over, 'cause it took me forever to learn how to spell it. It is a long tough word. I am curious how they came up with that? I need to goggle it? & find out. We did some biking and hiking while there. By the end of the rally most folks were wearing pants and using bug spray. SO these are a few I wish to share with ya. The bugs were nuts, they loved our Virginia skin and blood. Yummy to them Texan bugs I guess. Hope you are well this week. Take care!! Be Well & Be Blessed!!! Beth ( ;
