Fall Near Au Train Michigan

Au Train is west of Munising, and is literally, "just across the street" from Lake Superior on M-28, the main thoroughfare from Sault St. Marie to Marquette.

Thanks, Sherry!) Either way, this stork-like bird was walking the shoreline of this lake, picking off minnows, baby... Sign in to see full entry.

Ghost Pipe is known by many names, most commonly Indian Pipe, Corpse Plant (it turns black after blooming), or Monotropa uniflora for those in the know.

Things Are Looking Up At Hartwick Pines State Park

I lay on my back to take this shot to get a nice, clear photo after getting dizzy trying to get one in focus. This is in the Hartwick Pines State Park, in the Lower Peninsula of Michigan, one of the two original growth of pine trees that once covered Michigan. I use to bring my kids here to camp for...
