Beer! Specifically the KBC's Quick Link Lager. A delicious beer for a hot day.

Warm lines.

Beach Grass

White beach grass against a black sky.
Memories of summer.

Enjoy this photo from early in the summer. It comes from Great Sand Bay, a lovely (and unusual) place up in the Keweenaw. As our leaves change color, the beach and grass are still warm and pleasant.

Dead River Rainbow

A view from the top of a rocky waterfall, looking downstream, with a rainbow visible in the mist from the fall.
The Upper Dead River Falls

On the 4th of July, I took a most excellent trip to Marquette to visit a certain special someone. Sarah and I spent a lot of the day hiking up and down the Dead River, which is virtually made out of waterfalls. This was one of our favorites -- one of the largest drops on the river, but also impressive for the rainbow visible in its mist. I highly recommend the trip for any waterfall fans, but beware -- the hike can be very tricky at times. You'll have to be in good shape to do some of the balancing and climbing!

Chair of Summer!

A yellow adirondack chair's back, hilighted by sunlight, against a blue sky.
A sign of summer

This photo comes to you from the lovely Saginaw Valley, which (being downstate) is at least a month ahead of the UP in terms of seasons. We're just getting into summer up here, but this lovely chair was baking in the sun weeks ago.

This is an Adirondack chair, refinished and repainted by my father, baking out in the warm sun on a clear June day. The sun was right overhead, which made the light reflect off of the cross-braces in a very unusual way. To me, this photo looks how summer feels!

Thanks also to D. Travis North over at Shutter Photo for featuring this on his photo blog!
