...Little Traverse Bay...Lake Michigan 2012









I really can't add anything eloquent enough to describe the unbelievable beauty...this is pure Michigan at its best.  See ya....jimmy

...to enjoy one's company


Both of these beautiful flowers were hanging around the lake's edge, and was fortunate to get a nice capture with my camera.  Alongside Burt Lake are all sorts of natural beauties and being able to view and enjoy their company is a wonderful experience.  Hope you like them too.  
See ya....jimmy

...some gem

It is funny....I have this terrific Sony digital camera, lenses, tripods, etc, and MJ points and shoots at a sunset on Burt Lake with her smart phone, and captures this amazing photo.  The color, clarity and pure beauty of the scene is something else.  Needless to say, she took some gem.

...different look

I really like the way this photo turned out.  The background black and white intensifies the colors of this Rose of Sharon and the soft glow given to the flower with the water droplets makes it pleasant to the eye....I think so.  Hope it does something for you...see ya...jimmy g

by the way I believe Rose of Sharon is a type of Hibiscus

First Blooms of Summer...Rose of Sharon



Hope you like my photos this morning....Rose of Sharon, beautiful, just bloomed this morning and with water droplets and sunlight upon them....well see for yourself.  See ya....jimmy g

...beauty

Beauty...a sense we visualize with our eyes, with our minds and the feeling of awe held in our hearts...see ya...jimmy

side note:  the bottom pic was taken in my backyard at about 5:30 am...as some camera geeks call it SOOC, or straight out of camera...this was NOT  photo shopped...the colors were unreal and I just had to see if I could take a pic at such low light and still capture the richness of color I was seeing ...I think it came out great...anyway just a side note as to the history of this particular view....hope you liked it.   jim
