A little piece of paradise -- Lake Michigan

Lazy Days of Summer in Illinois

Well, you can pretty much sit around and watch the corn grow . . .

Too hot to do much else

Almost done with this puzzle -- we are having a heat wave here!

Early Sunflower

Usually I don't have sunflowers for a few more weeks . . . of course, I didn't plant this one -- it is courtesy of the birdfeeder!

Sunset, Lake Michigan

Yes, I said sunset! This was taken from the opposite side of Lake Michigan. We have sunrises here on the Chicago side . . .

Arch Rock - Mackinac Island

Not very close to home in Nunda Township -- just away on vacation in Michigan. Anyone want to guess the story of how this was formed? An old Indian legend. . .
