Real quickly tonight! First of all, sorry no photos last night, was on the road going from Michigan to Florida! Finally after 20 hours in the car we made it. Well this after noon we walked down to the beach with what little energy we had, and there were tons of things for me to photograph! Here is what I have to share tonight:

Only one
Things are super crazy around the house this week. Tomorrow we are leaving for a weeks stay in Cape Canaveral, Florida! We are so excited we can hardly contain it! There is only one photo to share tonight:
We didn't go in, but I just loved how bright this door was! What a great sign!

Tonight
This evening I have four photos to share.
These were of course taken while at the boat, in Grand Haven. There are these little islands or clumps of grass that are in the middle of the Grand River. There is always some kinds of birds hanging around these areas. Birds are one of my favorite things to take photos of. Maybe because it's such a challenge, I'm not sure. One day, I plan to have an owl in my collection of birds. Back when I was shooting with film, I seen and photographed a bald eagle right here in Hillsdale! Someday I'll have to scan that and get it on here!
Okay my bird book says these are, to the best of bird searching abilities, top to bottom. People around the marina call them wood ducks, but according to Sibley's field guide to birds these look most like a double crested cormorant. Now I could be wrong, so if you know otherwise, please tell me what they are! In the second and third shot, I was aiming for the bird standing there in the back. Now I have always believed it was a white heron , but it seems--according the the field guide--they are rare in these here parts so next best bird with the closest matching description is a great egret. Again, I could be wrong! I did have a shot of a blue heron, but it was flying away from me, so it didn't turn out real great.
There is one more shot to share tonight
Just because!

Here we go for Sunday night I have a couple more photos from Ludington for everyone.
These are some night photos
This is the sunset, and as we were watching it go down, I was wishing I had went out on the pier for better photos:
After the sun was finally down this is what was left:
Everything was so calm and the temperature was perfect that night. The sky was beautiful. The Badger had come in and it was all lit up reflecting off the smooth water. The badger is a car hauler that goes from Ludington to Milwaukee, in the summer it makes two trips across but it was down to just one trip a day on this last trip over labor day weekend.
