Top 22 of 2022

Just for fun on the last day of this year I thought I’d post my favorite 22 photos taken in 2022. The more I looked through old posts today the harder it became to choose so few pictures to share! Eventually I settled on this combination of professional and personal photo projects and tried to include something from each season :)

Michigan Scenery

I’ve traveled to northern Michigan twice in the last two months and am finally taking time to look through the photos I took! Fall is such a pretty time in this state and I have pulled over on the side of a road more then once to take pictures of trees (or a rainbow) ;) Here are a few favorites, the locations are:

1 and 2. Grand Haven State Park lighthouse/ pier

3 and 4. Laughing Whitefish falls, Munising

5. Wagner Falls, Munising

6. Miners Falls, pictured rocks/ Munising

7 and 8. Rainbow near Interlochen

9, 10, 11, 12. Pierce Stocking Scenic Drive, Sleeping Bear Dunes

13. Empire Bluff trail, Sleeping Bear Dunes

14. Empire Beach, Sleeping Bear Dunes

15. DH day farm, Glen Arbor

Tulip Time 2020

Although Tulip Time festivities were cancelled this year due to COVID-19 I am fortunate to live close to Holland and had the opportunity to go see the Tulips and take some photos earlier this month. It was really fun to walk through places like Windmill Island without having to deal with huge crowds of people, but I do hope the festival can return next year because I know these places are taking a big financial hit without the tourists. Here are some of my favorite pictures of the tulips :)
