Only a few summer weeks left at Dyer Lake. If a quiet lake morning near Traverse City sounds good right now, it might be time to check the calendar. Read more dyerlakevacationhome.com/traverse-cit... and start planning. π

A child steps onto driftwood found at Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore in Michigan. There is a large tree trunk laying on the sand, partially submerged in water, and the boy is standing on the end that's inside the lake. He's wearing a bright red long sleeve shirt and pants folded to his knees. Closer to the viewer, the tree roots protrude and form a small circular opening; they are very thick. Other driftwood is strewn around. The lake waters are clear and reflect the sky. It's a very sunny day.

Where enormous dunes meet a lake that seems to stretch endlessly ahead β the awe of its sheer scale quite literally takes your breath away as people appear as tiny specks on the hillside.

Here's a short timelapse video of the aurora over Loon Lake on 10/1/2025. The video does however illustrate the progression from an aurora arc to seeing aurora beads just before the sub-storm hits. Don't blink...π

The sand dunes at Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore in Michigan.
"If the world was ending, I'd wanna be next to you...~"
Lake Michigan really is a sight to behold. Especially at Sleeping Bear. #Vacation #SleepingBearDunes #Michigan
One of the National Parks treasure. Beautiful natural sights in Sleeping Bear Dunes. Green forests, flowers, golden sand, lovely breezes (even in the hottest days) and the bluest of waters. A treasure we need to preserve for future generations.
Good morning! This golden sands splendor is very much #SundayVibes.
In truth, #Michigan is rainy todayβ¦yesterday memories make up for it, though.βοΈπΆοΈπ

Sand dunes at Lake Michigan overlook in Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. Bare trees leave dark shadows against the sand and a bright blue Lake Michigan peeks out from behind the dune.
Anywho, here's another vacation spot my mind likes to wander off to: #SleepingBearDunes π
My photo, #SleepingBear Shadows, is currently available as a 5x7 print at #mid-Michigan coffee shop Big Rock Coffee and Events. There's only one left & it's proven a popular one, so don't wait to stop by!
When I first moved to #Michigan everyone said I had to see #SleepingBearDunes. So, during the lockdowns I did.
And you know what?
I don't need to drive 230 miles to see this view. I can do it from right here in Van Buren county.
Sometimes, lifeβs storms bring the biggest breakthroughs. My solo Labor Day hike at Sleeping Bear Dunes was stormy, cathartic, and empowering. π #DuneDiva #SleepingBearDunes #LaborDayHike #Resilience #HealingJourney

A very funky looking trillium, I think---a close up of a three part variegated green and white flower
A close up of the bloom of a jack in the pulpit---a cylindrical body with light green stripes and a flappy hood, with the preacher or stamina peeking out from underneath
Close up of a regular trillium flower---a three-petal white flower
So many warblers---soooo many---and carpets of trillium #SleepingBearDunes
