Small series of photos from a past trip to Michigan. I love this little break wall and lighthouse. The sunsets from this spot are usually amazing.
Betsie
Today I have a drone photo for you from the Point Betsie Lighthouse on the Lake Michigan coast in northern Michigan. This spot, among many in Michigan, is beautiful. It sits near the village of Frankfort and Crystal Lake.
Old Mission Peninsula
Here is a photo I took last fall with my drone from Old Mission Peninsula in northern Michigan. I thought missed the fall colors, but when we got up there it was perfect as you can see.
Point Betsie Lighthouse
I finally got around to editing this footage last weekend. I captured this last October in Northern Michigan along the Lake Michigan shore.
Michigan Autumn
I took this photo last fall during our Michigan wine trail trip. We experienced great fall colors while we were there. This cool little road is actually the exit off one of the vineyards. So many great wineries in the Traverse City area.
Point Betsie
Here is another photo of Point Betsie Lighthouse near Frankfort Michigan. This spot is great. I loved the entire vibe.
South Haven Light
Short post tonight…. Here is an up close view of the South Haven Light via my drone on the Lake Michigan coast.
Burt Lake Sunset
Nice little time-lapse sunset video from Burt Lake Michigan…. I captured this in 2020, during a time when we all need a little sunshine.
Lighthouse Point Betsie
Here is another photo from Point Betsie Lighthouse near Frankfort Michigan. This is a great spot for a quick visit.
Chateau Chantel By Air
Here is a photo from a long, long time ago (last October….COVID time is like dog time). I took this while traveling in Old Mission Peninsula near Traverse City Michigan. There are a ton of vineyards, distilleries and places that make hard cider in this area. Not to mention, it is just beautiful…rolling hills, numerous peninsulas, Lake Michigan as the backdrop, fall color and much more. It was great getting back up there, since it’s probably been over 10 years since our last visit. Much too long.
I took this photo looking down on the Chateau Chantel vineyard/winery. They have an amazing spot, and it is worth a stop. Plus, the wine is great as well.
Wine With A View
I captured this photo on our last trip to Michigan (October 2020). We visited a small handful of vineyards (all outdoor activities only at tables/chair sitting far apart) including this location. This specific winery had this unique view out the back of the building. The vineyard is called Hawthorne Vineyards, which sits on Old Mission Peninsula near Traverse City.
South Haven Sunset
Here is another perspective from my time in South Haven Michigan…. I had a good time on this chilly night taking tons of photos as the sunset through dusk and into night…. As you can see, I captured this a little before sunset.
Point Betsie
Here is another photo I took at Point Betsie Lighthouse in northern Michigan. You can see the start of Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore in the background. If you’ve never been to this area of Michigan, do yourself a favor and go.

Michigan Autumn
I took this picture as we drove through the Tunnel of Trees in Northern Michigan. I pulled over a number of times to hop out and capture some photos. I also took a bunch from the car, since it was raining during part of this drive. Anyway, I loved this house sitting back off the road.

South Haven Light
I know….another Michigan photo. This one is from South Haven Michigan. MJ was amazing and sat out in the cold for over an hour waiting for me to capture sunset and post-sunset photos of this light at the end of the pier. I got this one with the drone from a perspective not normally seen.

Mackinac Entry
During our last trip to Michigan, we went to Mackinac Island. This was an entry way to one of the lakefront houses. I loved it!! You can make out the front door to the house through the front gate plant portal.

Grand Hotel
This extraordinary and historical hotel is located in a very special place for me. This is the Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island…. I took this photo last month on our trip to Michigan. This island is another great spot to visit, if you haven’t already.

Gibson's Tree
During our trip to Burt Lake in northern Michigan, I took this photo of Gibson’s tree sitting right next to the lake…. There isn’t much more to say about it.
