New Assistant

Around White Lake in Muskegon County, Michigan over the last few days.

That good looking girl in the halter is Flossie, the new photographer’s assistant. Mom adopted her from Noah’s Project earlier this summer.

We have been told that Flossie is a coon hound. Whatever her lineage, she couldn’t be any sweeter…especially mellow in the house. But once she’s outdoors and gets a scent, watch out. Just like Nigel, her volume knob also goes up to eleven.

Dogless Duck Lake

This year’s first trip to Muskegon County’s Duck Lake State Park. It was really pretty, but really sad to be there without Chrissy.

Hunting Hiatus

Chris’ last swim at the state park until the spring. The hunting season starts tomorrow and the combination of bullets and alcohol will make other venues much more inviting.

Pretty Petals

The thick fog this morning wiped out the plans for some lake surface pix. There will be another attempt next week. Here are some flowers found next to the road on the way home.

Lest anyone assume that Chris is a “poser”, the old girl isn’t ruminating on the Aurora’s rosy fingers welcoming a new dawn, but rather on the treat that was supposed to be thrown in that direction – but wasn’t.

Duck Lake after the storm

The tail end of last night’s big storm left Duck Lake as dark as night during parts of this morning’s walk.

As might be expected, the threatening skies did little to dissuade Chris from swimming early and often.

White Lake, August 7, 2011

What seemed to be shaping up a clear sunny morning – at least before sunrise – turned out to be anything but. These are from before the thunderstorm.

Early Morning Walk, July 31, 2011

Another early morning. Another gorgeous sunrise.

There is also a picture of some sort of mystery mushroom (?) that was in the middle of the trail. Does anyone know what these things are?

This was from a morning walk early in October. Needless to say, the sun’s appearance was very brief.

Stick chasing at sunrise

Chris leaves a wake while retrieving a stick during a sunrise walk this past weekend.

The gorgeous clouds are the advance team for the rain which started just a few minutes after she returned with here prize.
