Exploring our town
I love to go exploring every nook in our log cabin town. I will drive down side streets, back roads, dirt roads...all in my quest to discover interesting houses, small lakes, wildlife and new trees. When I went driving down this snow covered road and watched this solitary man walking down it and occasionally looking up at the trees, I felt this photo captured the true essence of Northern Michigan - the place I love so much.

ReplyDeleteGood morning Shelley! Well, your picture is absolutely beautiful! You know already that I just love snow! Since it's going to be 70 degrees here in Oklahoma today I'll just look at your snow picture & pretend I'm living in a winter wonderland! :o)

What a wondeful photo. It looks so peaceful and magical.
ReplyDeletethat road looks so inviting, like a person could even x-country ski right down the middle of it!

Your log cabin is charming, Shelly. Weather permitting, do believe we're heading UP NORTH tomorrow ... Happy Michigan Holidays!
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful! It brings back memories of my childhood growing up in Michigan!
ReplyDeleteLady of the Mote - I like to think so! :-)
ReplyDeleteGeorge - So many great things to see there! I don't know if I can find a waterfall though for you & Betsy - lol!
Jane - You would enjoy it!!
Hi Betsy - Gaylord is a little over a 3 hour drive from our home in southeast Michigan (that's with clear roads - far and rare in between - ha,ha!)
Dawn - so many pretty snowy roads right now! (Thought after today - might be icy!)
Michele - hope your Christmas was special!!
Carol - you are teasing me w/ that 70 degree weather - lol!
Michelle - If you enjoy a north country feel - you would definitely love this area!
Cedar - I thought the same thing! Either cross country skiing or snow shoeing!
Jen - you are speaking my language! lol!
Tammy - thank you! Gosh your house was so gorgeous in those photos!
Joey - so glad to have a Michigander stop by! Have a safe drive!
Penny - I'm so glad I brought back memories for you! Hugs! :)
This neighborhood has a good feeling to it. It looks a great place to experience life.
ReplyDeleteI had fun looking back at the cabin pictures. I love cabins. When I was growing up my best friends folks had a small cabin in Colorado. We had so much fun there. One room with a wood stove and outhouse. we loved it. Hey, I can tell I would love your cabin too. (o: I can't do the outhouse thing anymore. (o:
ReplyDeleteThat is a great photo and it looks so serene and peaceful.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful photo of a peaceful scene. Hope you had a great Christmas. -- Margy
ReplyDeleteGreat quote: and that fresh snow, very scenic, looks like a perfect setting for doing so.
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful is that?!
ReplyDeleteOoh! you are so fortunate living in such a place as you do!
It would have been wonderful to have just had one snowflake this year....but alas we shall have to dream! (We did have a bit of a frost this morning...does that count maybe?!).
Enjoy your seasonal fun one and all!

Just so beautiful, we usually get that look in January:) Right now it is about 65* outside...amazing to me but so good for holiday travelers.

Postcard perfectly beautiful! I remember when we first got our cabin, I went out all the time looking around and exploring, marveling at the different cabins, the little town. Your post makes me miss this.
ReplyDeleteCute neighborhood. We don't have neighborhoods by our cabin. We are too rural. But, Houghton Lake just north of us does. I like to drive around the neighborhoods with my Mom, since she lives there in summer.
