I later saw a vole running across the field, which was entertaining to watch.
Despite the #snowstorm, springtime appears to be underway based on this Winged One. The redpolls are coloring up as well.

Red Barn on Riggsville Road The scene opens onto a wide sweep of rural Michigan countryside, bathed in bright, generous daylight. A vivid red barn stands confidently at center stage, its paint glowing like a warm ember against the open landscape. The barn’s clean, angular lines contrast with the soft roll of the surrounding fields, giving it the presence of a landmark—something sturdy, familiar, and deeply rooted in the land. The grass in the foreground is lush and summer‑green, stretching out in a gentle, velvety carpet that seems to ripple with the slightest breeze. You can almost feel the warmth rising from the earth, that dry‑sweet smell of sun‑soaked pasture. Above it all, the sky is a brilliant blue, the kind that feels endless, with big, buoyant white clouds drifting lazily across it. They’re soft and cottony, casting slow‑moving shadows that give the landscape a sense of quiet motion. The barn’s red siding pops vividly against this backdrop—rich, saturated, almost tactile—while the white trim adds crisp edges that catch the sunlight. The whole scene radiates a sense of peaceful openness, the kind of rural calm where time feels slower and the air feels cleaner. There’s a subtle nostalgia woven into the image: the echo of hayfields, the rhythm of farm life, the memory of long country roads and tight‑knit communities. It’s a portrait of the American Midwest at its most serene and honest, where land, sky, and hard‑earned heritage meet in a single, striking frame.
Red Barn on Riggsville Road
Riggsville Road is a main artery in Cheboygan County connecting Cheboygan Michigan to Pellston Michigan. It's upper rural Midwestern America in all its beauty and glory.

Red Barn The red barn rises from the green Michigan pasture like a weathered monument, its boards sun‑bleached and time‑softened, yet still glowing with that deep, iconic barn‑red warmth. The dark blue sky behind it feels almost velvety, making the sloped roof and wide barn doors stand out in crisp relief, as if the whole scene were breathing with the quiet, open air of the countryside.
Red Barn
I was on a mission when I captured this image of a Red Barn in Levering Michigan. The mission was to capture pictures of old barns and I had found exactly what I was looking for.

Horton Bay General Store II The Horton Bay General Store stands like a weathered storyteller, its wooden façade softened by decades of northern Michigan sun, rain, and quiet winters. The siding carries a gentle roughness you can almost feel—sun‑bleached boards, softened edges, and the faint scent of old pine and dust rising from the porch as if the building itself exhales its history. A hand‑painted sign hangs above the entrance, its vintage lettering evoking the charm of a bygone era, the kind of place where screen doors slap gently in the summer breeze and the air hums with the scent of lake water drifting in from nearby Boyne City. The porch stretches outward like an invitation, its planks likely cool beneath morning shade and warm by afternoon light, creaking softly under the imagined footsteps of locals and travelers alike. The whole scene feels steeped in nostalgia—quiet, intimate, and touched with the spirit of Ernest Hemingway, whose presence lingers in the atmosphere like a faint echo. The store radiates a sense of small‑town stillness, the kind that wraps around you like a familiar quilt, whispering stories of simpler days and the 38 souls who call Horton Bay home.
Horton Bay General Store II
The Horton Bay General Store is located in Northern Michigan and is located on the Boyne City/Charlevoix Road in the village of Horton Bay.

Shall gods be said to thump the clouds
When clouds are cursed by thunder,
Be said to weep when weather howls?
Shall rainbows be their tunics' colour?

Photograph taken looking over the curved roof of the YHA building in Manchester. Tucked behind are coppery-green air vents that look like chimneys. Dominating the left hand side is a 'super tall' (yes it's genuinely a term) residential building, predominantly glass. The sky is grey (it is Manchester) with clouds but the sunshine is trying to break through. It does sometimes!

A poem: Up North
Family and their aunt floating on inflatables between a horseshoe doc on the Three Lakes, Wisconsin Chain of Lakes under a painterly sky.
Don't worry. Summer will be here soon.
