Michigan

I'm back from Michigan. (actually for a week)

I never realized how "woodsy" Michigan is - Or at least in the U.P.
I kept worrying about ticks and spiders although I don't think they have poisonous spiders up there. I loved all the nature and believe me, there was a lot!

We spent hours watching and taking pictures of the humming birds. They were buzzing us before we could get the feeder out - They must have been hungry!

Then there was Lake Michigan which went past the horizon. On Sunday night there was a huge storm where lightening fingered out - we tried to take pictures of that but were too slow.

We did all sorts of out-door things like walk in the woods and combed the beach for shells and at night we built camp fires and watched the sky.

I completely ate like crap yet only gained one pound, which is not too bad.
The only thing now is that I want to continue to eat donuts for breakfast and s'mores right before I go to bed.

Alas, 'yummy-time' is over.

Try and convince yourself that something else is yummy... I've heard of people using hypnosis to do that though I've never done it myself...

Love your humming bird pictures. And the lake looks very restful. Glad you had a good time being there.

What wonderful sharp pictures of the hummingbirds. It is so hard to capture them like that. The beach scenes are so inviting, no wonder you had a great time. But like all good things, they come to an end, till the next time:)
