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.
Stranded Ship
When I was in northern Michigan a few weeks ago doing some ship wreck scuba diving with my buddies, we came upon this beauty. This is the front portion of a real Great Lake Freighter converted into waterfront building. I don’t know if they’re using it as a cottage or some other purpose. It was a unique find and this photo doesn’t do it justice. This thing is big….taller then the adult pine and hard wood trees around it. This was on the St. Mary’s River which connects Lake Superior to Lake Huron.

Valhalla Ranch
As you’ve probably noticed, I’ve been off the grid the last 10 days or so. Between work, work travel, my Baldrige volunteer work and some fun travel; I’ve been extremely busy. I started last week in Washington D.C. for work meetings and ended the week in northern Michigan to get some ship wreck scuba diving in around the Mackinaw Straits area of Lake Huron. By the way, the scuba diving in the Great Lakes is amazing. But I’ll leave that for another day.
Anyway, I had an old friend contact me to see if I’d photograph his hunting resort and ranch in Northern Michigan. He had no idea that I was going to already be in that area. So, I spent some time at his 605 acres ranch and resort photographing the deer, the property and the facilities. I have to admit, he has a wonderful setup if you just want some quiet time in the forest or you want to bag a trophy white tail buck. You can see more on his location here: http://www.valhallami.com/
Tonight’s photo is one of the bucks. We came up on this one by mistake and found it laying in the tall grass.
