“Mackinac Bridge”, 11”x14”, oil on wood #oilpainting #illustration #fineart #mackanacbridge #mackinawcity #puremichigan
This photo is of the USCGC Mackinaw (WAGB-83), a historic United States Coast Guard icebreaker known as the "Queen of the Great Lakes." It was commissioned in 1944 and served for 62 years. It is pictured under navy blur, medium blue, and pink clouds at sunrise in October. The ship sits against a wall of rock armour, and there is more rock armour protecting a pier in the right foreground. The tops of several wooden posts are seen at the very bottom.
Thank you for your service!

Dark gray burnt orange clouds just past sunrise make up the top of the photo. A glowing sun, it's light shining on the bottom layers of the clouds and reflecting on the black surface of Lake Huron makes up the middle. The bottom is the black lake and the sun's vertical reflection at the center from horizon to the bottom edge,

Sunrise on Lake Huron, October 2025. The sun sits just above the black water, encased in its yellow and orange corona; its light reflecting vertically in front of it. Orange sky spreads out horizontally from it. Above that is a blue sky with narrow horizontal strips of white and sunlit orange clouds, and above that is a dark layer of black and burnt orange clouds. In the foreground is a black jutting out from the lower right side to the left mid-ground, its left railing lit up in yellow and orange.
Good morning☀️
I had a great time in #MackinawCity and the #MichiganUpperPenninsula, but now It’s good to be back and to be catching up with you and your lovely photos! Wishing you a beautiful Tuesday.

Miss Margy bringing a load of visitors back to the mainland. Tired, full of sweets, and multiple bags of goodies in tow.
Did you make it to Mackinac Island this summer? There’s still time. And Fall is the best time to visit!

Watch Room View - Old Mackinac Point Lighthouse
Circular windows in the lighthouse tower provide a spectacular view of The Straits. Here, the keepers would stand watch when the light was illuminated at night or in bad weather.

I've waited weeks for today's bone scan to see if cancer has spread to my skeletal system. The day has come and gone, and the results are in.

Fort Michilimackinac - In 1960, reconstruction of the fort began. There are several working buildings and tons of artifacts and historical displays. Plus a spectacular view of the Straits and bridge!

One of the things I enjoy about visiting #MackinacIsland is the ambience & natural beauty. Last time I visited I discovered this fantastic Italian ristorante, Nonna Lisa’s, with a true Northwoods feel.
Definitely a place to add to your #bucketlist of places to eat.
