Superior Sunrise

Sunrise over Lake Superior. I can't believe I woke up automatically at dawn - must be a first. With sunrises like this, I could wake up at dawn every day!

Mackinac Sun Set

Sun set over the Mackinac Bridge and Straits of Mackinac where Lake Michigan (in the distance) and Lake Huron (close) meet. This bridge is the only way to get from the Michigan lower penninsula and MI upper penninsula, other than having to drive all the way around a great lake!

Coke Machine

This was on the farm when my parents bought the property in 1978. Although they've been trying to sell it (and someone actually paid money for it but never picked it up) it seems destined to be passed on when they sell the farm this year.
