A Very Sad Me At Alger Falls in the UP in 2018

This was taken about two months after Judy died and about two months before Lisa returned to my life. I was very sad, and despite being in such a beautiful place, I couldn't muster a smile.

I was out walking when this big female eagle came swooping in and rested on this old pole.

Small Falls Near Munising, Michigan

The Munising area in the Upper Peninsula is loaded with small waterfalls. These fascinate and intrigue me. When you look closely, you will see layer upon layer of sedimentary rock. I talked with a geologist who was studying the falls and the rock formations. He told me each layer probably... Sign in to see full entry.

This is one of my favorite shots. We were driving home from a long trip to the west end of the UP, and then... this happened. We were both speechless. Sign in to see full entry.
