Since we are 'always' serious...this is definitely the funniest picture we have together.
Another November and the fall clean-up is done.

October Bronzeback 11 Oct 2008, 10:28 pm

We fished relentlessly. Not much biting but we all caught at least one fish. I caught this nice smallmouth bass (also called a 'bronzeback') and then a very young smallmouth bass.

Oct. 11, 2008 - Floating down the Kzoo River with Darren, Walt, his twins James, Shawn, and the oldest brother Eric.
It was a fantastic float.

Under the apple tree 1 Oct 2008, 12:31 am

I really like these pictures of this 8 point deer. I was able to walk out on the back deck without it spooking to soon. I don't think it ever saw me. It seemed to smell me before trotting off. 9/30/08

High Water 1 Oct 2008, 12:00 am

Kayaking down flooded Kzoo river. Floating straight through the trees instead of following the bends in river.
A pretty view of the 'sacred springs' that we usually have to walk down a trickling stream to get to.
Personal floating device day.

Camping 28 Aug 2008, 5:25 pm

Picture of the trail to walk-in to the camp sites. I preferred the more private walk-in sites. I felt very alone out there by myself around the fire, but then I remembered there was at least 1500 other campers nearby. I timed myself setting up the tent and it took about 20 minutes. An owl hooted loudly nearby and that seemed to be the call to all animals to come out of hiding. A bold raccoon came up to see if it could find a meal.

Moss and Ferns 28 Aug 2008, 4:57 pm

I thought you would love this pic !!! I wish you could have been here with me.
The simple natural beauty of this pathway is so peaceful. The trails were so soft and comfortable to walk. Beatle and I walked 2.4 miles that day. This is around Bass Lake.

Our 1st Road Trip 28 Aug 2008, 4:46 pm

Beatle did very well adjusting to riding in the Element. He seemed to enjoy the time. He gets along with everyone so well.
Hiked with my parents to a beautiful bluff overlooking sleeping bear dunes and the village of Empire.

Sacred fawn 16 Aug 2008, 12:13 am

I had in incredible moment watching an innocent and curious fawn walk out towards me from a washout on the shore. Eventually after a couple minutes the doe appeared and calmly starting communicating to the fawn. I quietly slipped away...
And a smallmouth bass reflecting brightly.

Aug 15 River 15 Aug 2008, 11:45 pm

I like this shot with Daren to the left and a (blue?) heron flying away on the far right of the picture.
We were pirchedwith the noses of our kayaks barely on a rock facing up against the current; just sitting there balancing and fishing the faster current.

Safe Portage 15 Aug 2008, 11:42 pm

We put in at a public access and paddled quite a ways to the damn not knowing if there was an easy way to portage the damn to the other side and on down the river.
