We are in Indian River, Michigan. We drove through the tunnel of trees yesterday, at least most of it. There was a long detour which may have missed the most enclosed part. Here are a few photos:
When the trees thin out you can see Lake Michigan.
It was an interesting drive. It took a couple of hours.
Gene rode his trike for a couple of hours yesterday and I tried painting. I got out my acrylics and initiated a little table top easel that Brandon gave me for Christmas. I painted about an hour and had about half of an 8 x 10 canvas panel going and decided to terminate before it was really bad. Not the day for acrylics. I sketched and did some Cryptograms and other puzzles. It was a beautiful day and I was in the shade at a picnic table. Nice!!
For Scavenger Hunt459 in the travel sketchbook with a Micron 02.
Number 2, building - the motel front
Number 3, soft - pillows
Number 4, hard, the metal backboard and pipes of the basketball goal out front
Number 5, landscape - across the street from the motel. This is what I was painting, but much better than the acrylics.
Today Gene biked again and I walked. He rode his trike along slowly with me. Nice guy. I walked about 40 minutes, he went on his way to a trail and got soaked on the way back. :-) There were some gulls on the ground so he made them fly....
He saw this cool mailbox with a drawer for the paper.
These are from Gene's ride yesterday.

really nice photos :) looks like a good drive
when tech goes wrong, it all goes wrong at once :p
We are such creatures of habit. Toby needed some specific programs for his work and he updated my laptop to Windows Whatever. My computer is totally different than it was. Then he decided to get my mom's old computer and put all his programs on it. He didn't need my laptop after all. I still can't find anything on my computer. Don't even get me started on slow internet. There. I complained more than you and this is not my blog.
The photos look lovely. I didn't know Michigan was such a nice place.
Looks like a perfect spot for a bike ride or a walk, or some sketching. Hope you are staying cool. Most of the country (NY included) has been so hot.
Jennifer Rose, it was beautiful. A bit longer than we thought. Good day.
Ah, I feel for you, Bag Blog. I find change hard.
Joan, there are many good trails for Gene to ride and me to walk! It has been warmer than normal all the way along. They blame us for bringing it with us instead of leaving it in Texas!
