Summer, not lesser? Enjoy.

A few shots here as to not clog the photo section.

It has been a nice summer here in Michigan. I own a nice vehicle that takes me to nice places.

If I may share.

Hey, the Mackinac Bridge!

That's beautiful, thanks for sharing. I really need to make a trip to visit Michigan some time - I have several friends that spent time or grew up in the area, and it really does look gorgeous there. When it's not covered in that cold white stuff anyway :)

It surely is.
The best part is, I get paid to show up!

It is not a bad summer job. I am an audio engineer for this particular act during beach related festivals.

There are no complaints here, and if I were not traveling with these guys, I would still be hitting at least four of the Great Lakes every year.

If only to dip a toe.

I have literally hundreds of shots To capture moments. Sorry if I may bore with just a few.
