Back to “The Treasure State”, Montana, for this post. I am posting from New York this week while I visit with my elderly parents. Hopefully will find some time to share a New York photo or two. Have a great week everyone!!
the meeting of the gulls
Stumbled upon this high level meeting of the gulls. Among the topics I heard discussed: the problem of high property taxes; the awful smell of sun tan lotion; the dreaded return of sea doos and boats; those darn geese think they own the beach; let’s get that idiot with the camera. That’s when I ran.
lake shore and light
Back to a different shore: here we are again at New Buffalo, MI. It was a particularly beautiful day….. my wife and I enjoyed a walk along Lake Michigan soaking in the sun and marveling at the ocean-like size and scope of the lake. I still prefer salty air, and the unique sound of the ocean waves, but I have to admit, Lake Michigan is beautiful.
beach stroll
Speaking of the bride to be (see previous post) here is our oldest daughter strolling along the shore of Jones Beach, NY, the summer we picked her up when she returned from The World Race. What is The World Race? Well, it was an opportunity that changed her life. If you like, you can read about it here. That’s all for now…the father of the bride is getting a little teary eyed…
montana moment3
This was taken one morning at Beartooth Mountain Christian Ranch, Fishtail, Montana. For the past two summers I have been a part of a team that has gone to this ranch to help with Camp Velocity: a 5 day camp for children in the foster care system of Montana. Due to my oldest daughter’s wedding and a missions trip with our church’s high school students I am sad to not be able to return this summer. I will miss loving on those kids, and the beauty of Montana.
a cool headlight
And now! A cool headlight! ……….well…..anyway……….I though it was cool.
lonely boat
Taken on Lake Michigan from the beach at New Buffalo, MI. I think I remember shouting from the shore, “HAVE YOU SEEN THE WHITE WHALE?” 🙂
stillness and light
a determined tree
To me, this tree looks like it could just pick up those roots – a.k.a., tentacles; a.k.a., legs – and just go exploring.
stone manor
Not quite Downton Abbey, but not to shabby either! Stone Manor is the largest, and probably most famous estate on Lake Geneva. The home that we stayed at last week was next to this estate. I think I might buy it…..or…..just look at this picture…. 🙂
