Tropical...Storms

As many of you know I love to photograph the Mackinac Bridge. I have been wanting to capture the bridge with beautiful thunderstorms clouds for years. Time and time again it was simply too nice out. Well after years I finally got it! I loved that the sun lit up the water near the shoreline and gave the water a tropical feel.

Superior Fall

Overlooking the near shore islands of Marquette during an amazing fall day. The fall colors blanketed the forest floor.

Aqua

I have said it before and I will say it again, I love moody skies!!! I love them so much I actually purposely drove to the Traverse City area to photograph in the moody skies. Sometimes the weather gets a little too rough but when it pulls out of it you get some fantastic scenes. The amazing aqua waters near the base of the Charlevoix Lighthouse were awesome when they were paired with those moody skies.

The Light Switch Over

As one light sets the other takes over. Little Sable Lighthouse is becoming one of my favorite lighthouses. It was so peaceful to sit and enjoy the sunset as the clouds got painted with brilliant colors. Little Sable Point Lighthouse, Mears, Michigan

Hogs View

Beauty On The Edge

Blooming on the edge of an almost 200 foot cliff over Lake Superior, these Bunchberry (creeping dogwood) plants have quite the view.

Fall Carpet

The valley below was carpeted with amazing fall colors. I had visited this location many years before finally snagging these peak colors. Every year I was either too late or too early. It was worth the wait and the dynamic weather of the day just made the views even better.

Autumn Contrast

On a moody fall day, I couldn't help but stop and shoot this lovely scene of the Charlevoix lighthouse and the fall colors along the round lake channel. I loved the color contrast between the water, the lighthouse and the fall colors.

Standing Strong

Even from an above viewpoint the waves crashing into the Frankfort lighthouse were impressive. It is amazing the force these lighthouses can handle.

Fall's Atmosphere

Brockway Mountain near Copper Harbor, Michigan is a fantastic place to visit with a 360 degree view that seems to go forever. Being up top gives you an advantage to see all types of weather. After shooting the sun rising above Copper Harbor, I went to the second viewpoint on Brockway Mountain Drive and found this scene. During the autumn season the weather is very temperamental. Which is great for nature lovers and photographers because it creates incredible scenes with great atmosphere. It was almost as if the sun shined a spotlight on those beautiful fall colors.

Michigan's Best Pot Holes

"The Pot Holes" can be found on the Presque Isle River in the Porcupine Mountain Wilderness State Park in the western Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Through the years the rocks have been eroded away to create these impressive holes in the river bed.
