December 31, 2011

These are pictures from around Muskegon and Grand Haven. The day started out with Sun and clouds- the prediction is for snow or rain. I hope it holds off until everyone is home safe.

Mona Lake

Lake Michigan- by Pere Marquette

sunset at Grand Haven

the ice cometh

It was 27 degrees but still the sky dappled with clouds and the coming snow. There were ducks, gulls and mergansers in the channel.

Cool Hand at the end of 2011

Hello - for everyone who is interested in what has been happening to Cool hand - well!!! here are some pics as to how she looks at the end of the year. You can see Tom has been busy----- and the New Year will bring even more changes to her.

new camera and Lake Michigan

Got the battery charged and went first to Pere Marquette and took some pictures - WOW what a difference in how the camera handles and the quality of the pictures. The wind was around 20kts and the waves coming in at 5 to 8 ft. There were a few people in Muskegon but I left for Grand Haven.

There are small wind sand sculptures that are amazing.

looks like a moose - Micky mouse??

I got someone to take my Pic - IT'S COLD
