Allow me to invite you to our very own Photo Group!

We'd love to see more of your photos, my dear MiHale!

And if you have any photos of roadways, old or new, you could enter one in this month's contest!

Thank you!

I’ve entered a couple of contests here over the years. Nature photography is what I do most fungus, moss, wild flowers. I try to bring the unobserved into view.

I’ll see if I have roadways or can try to get one.

Had a brother-in-law that lived in Oscoda and made the drive from PA many times. A very beautiful area!

And congrats on the booster!

Yeah, I try not to take everything around us for granted it does take a reminder every once and a while. We live in a National Forest and are a short drive to the Huron.

All basically coming up through the Ohio Valley route. Means a snowy winter it it continues for us anyway.

The colors are gorgeous, here.

They say we're in for a hard winter.

I sure hope not. But no doubt, we'll get hit hard with the lake effect snow off Lake Michigan.

It sure is pretty, though.

Happy Winter, MiHale!

Or any other harbingers of coming weather. The acorn count in my yard seems a little less than normal.

in October the pattern seemed to follow in winter, we had a fair amount of snow that winter and it wasn’t long ago, 2019.
We were able to snowshoe rather deep into the forest. Hoping for the same this year.
My wife and I are not real good indoor people, we are outside most of the time unless the day is too bad.
Very lucky too, we live close to town so if it’s real bad we can walk to whatever we need, we do little driving in winter. Plus everything we love to do is right outside our back door.
